Genesis is a 5-year-old girl born in 2014. When she was born she was a very healthy baby.  At 3 months old she began to have seizures. According to the doctors Genesis had a cystic tumor located on her head (the tumor as thankfully disappeared). She was diagnosed with “Epilepsy and Quadriplegic Syndrome” and receives a large amount of care from her parents Max and Paola and her grandparents.

She was receiving therapy three times a week and has made great progress. However  due to issues with employment and transportation they could no longer take her. Genesis communicates only with her eyes and can sometimes speak in small bursts. Her family hopes to see an improvement in her posture through the new wheelchair and they are very grateful that the wheelchair will grant her more mobility. They also hope that they will be able to resume therapies for their daughter.

They thank God that he has blessed them with this help and they also bless the people who made this possible.
