MOBI Beach Wheelchair for Samantha!

Donation protected


Hi,

My name is Ana Burke and I am trying to raise money to get my daughter Samantha a MOBI Beach Floating Wheelchair.

Samantha is a beautiful 17 year old: she is kind, funny, smart and brave.  She also happens to have Rett Syndrome.  
Rett Syndrome is a debilitating neurological disorder; that interferes with almost everything she does.   To learn more check:  https://reverserett.org/about-rett/

 Samantha is a true fighter and survivor, her will to live is that of a superhero...she is my superhero.  She was recently hospitalized for 46 days in the ICU at Childrens Hospital in Boston.  She was admitted through the ER into the ICU with seizures that would not stop.  She was intubated and in three drug induced (pentobarbital) comas to attempt to control the seizures.  Without going into the heartwrenching details, she survived it all and she is home.  
One of the things that gives Samantha joy is being in the water.   This is why I am determined to get her this chair.  We had the chance to try this chair and it was so incredible for her to be able to get into a chair at the beach and roll right into the water!  She can enjoy floating around in the water with everyone else and then when she's ready you can just roll her out!  It is phenomenal.
Please help us give Samantha freedom in the water!
