Shawna's Story
Total Assistance: $29,100
Born with cerebral palsy, 27-year-old Shawna lives at home with her parents. Wheelchair dependent and in need of assistance, she has caretakers helping her with day-to-day life three days a week, while her parents care for her the remainder of the time.
Shawna is constantly working around her limitations. She has a high school diploma and created her own small business designing hats that are sold at a local craft fair each year.
Because of her wheelchair, Shawna’s family relies on an accessible van, but it’s over 12 years old and in dire need of repairs they currently can’t afford. Shawna’s parents are also dealing with their own health and financial issues. We’re so happy we’ve been able to help Shawna’s family purchase an accessible van, assist with rent and a provide a little extra for Shawna’s business.
