Drive to change the lives of kids like Laya-Grace
Layla-Grace is a courageous and spirited 6-year-old who loves the outdoors and visiting new places. Layla-Grace is living with Cerebral Palsy and her old stroller was falling short in meeting her postural and mobility needs, hindering her from fully experiencing the joy of school excursions and community outings.
Variety granted Layla-Grace a carefully selected wheelchair to provide Layla with the freedom and independence she deserves and needs to thrive.
Now Layla-Grace can confidently traverse longer distances, socially interact with her peers and greatly improve her ability to explore and learn new skills. This contribution will not only improve Layla-Grace’s physical well-being but also enhance her social interactions and overall quality of life.
