Donation protected
Shiniya is a 8 year old girl with a smile that will brighten anyone’s day. She is a student at Buckingham county Elementary school going to the third grade. She is the youngest of her 5 siblings. Shiniya was born at 39 weeks with a rare heart condition called hypoplastic  left heart syndrome. With this condition shiniya had 2 surgery of the three that is needed to repair her heart. The first was at 1 week of age and the other at 7 months. During her first surgery shiniya suffered from lack of oxygen to her brain which has left her unable to live like other children. She is unable to walk, talk, eat, hold her own head, among a lot of other things. Aside from her heart condition she also suffers from seizures and cerebral palsy.  She needs help with everything far as feeding which is done through a g tube, bathing, diapering, body positioning and other things. With the help of a wheel chair it’s make it easier to transport her back n forth.  Her parents now carry her to and from the vehicle and in and out her wheel chair at the moment. She is rides in a medical car seat provided for her but she’s very uncomfortable in it and often her head is dangling over due to the lack of control in her neck. She is in the need of a handicap accessible van to be transported in with her wheel chair. Her wheel chair  recline back and offers more support. With this van she would be able to be transported to school when needed and medical appointments.
