Barbara Rose lost all in a fire. Help!
On February 14, 2021, a fire destroyed my niece's home!
Barbara is a 10 year special needs sweet little girl who deserves every opportunity to excel in life, and all that she had, in order to be successful, was destroyed in the fire.
The fire destroyed everything Barbara needs to walk, communicate, sleep, watch her favorite movies, learn sign language and so much more! Barbara is very determined to walk and communicate!
She also loves to paint like her auntie.
One year ago Barbara had surgery on her hips to enable her journey towards
walking. She has only been able to bare weight since February 15, 2
021. Her AFO’s are critical for walking but were destroyed in the fire, without AFO’s she can only slide on the floor with her hands and crawl up the stairs.
