Ava Gets Her Independence Back with a New Wheelchair
July 2, 2025 News, SCI, YouTubeIndependence means everything!
At just 11 years old, Ava’s life changed forever when a ruptured arteriovenous malformation in her spinal cord left her paralyzed from the shoulders down.
The wheelchair she was given was too big and limited her ability to move on her own. It kept her from transferring safely and pushing herself comfortably, taking away the independence she was fighting so hard to regain.
Thanks to YOU and our Wheelchair Loaner Program, Ava now has a properly fitted wheelchair that gives her freedom and confidence to continue her rehab and daily activities.
Help us give more kids like Ava the tools they need to roll forward into their next chapter.
Join us at our Gala on August 7th at the Petersen Museum and be part of these life-changing moments. More info below.
