Kiana Pena's Dolphin Therapy Experience
Donation protected
Kiana not only is a sister, daughter and amazing aunt she shines a bright light on anyone she meets. She is the beautiful age of 24 but getting there has not been an easy journey by any means. Although, she was born into a healthy family; Kiana suffered a minor heart defect better known as "Tetralogy of Fallot". As a cause of this, at the age of 3, Kiana was placed into a surgery that ultimately took a left turn leaving her in the hospital for the following 6 months. Remarkably, Kiana continued to show her strength and healed; however because she lost oxygen to her brain during that particular operation complications occurred, resulting in her losing her ability to no longer communicate with others or get around without the assistance of a wheelchair. Despite all she has endured Kiana continues to be a blessing in all of our lives. Always reminding us how strong, smart and inspirational she is. Everyday we get reminded to be grateful for the little things in life . br />
Kiana has experienced water therapy many times and comes alive when doing so. Upon research we, as a family, have discovered that water therapy ( particularly with dolphins) is highly therapeutic for people like Kiana. The physical touch alone from the dolphins reduces stress and calms children with mental and physical disabilities while the sonar waves given off help increase motor skills.
"Basically, the dolphin’s intense sound waves create alternating regions of compression and expansion that form small bubbles in the cell membrane." - thedolphineexperience.com
We have looked into our options in hopes of giving Kiana an experience of a lifetime, as she is extremely deserving of it. Unfortunately, we can not accomplish this without the help of all of you reading this. The link will be listed below of the place we have selected for further insight. All proceeds will go directly towards this experience for Kiana.
We thank you deeply for all contributions
if you can not financially contribute we ask you share the link
All our love,
The Pena Family
