Help Mya Stay Safe and Comfortable at Home – A First-Floor Handicap Bathroom

I'm Melissa, a single mom raising my beautiful daughter Mya and her little brother Evan. My heart breaks every day watching Mya fight Sanfilippo syndrome type B—a rare, progressive, and ultimately fatal genetic disease that steals childhoods far too soon. (Learn more about it here; https://curesanfilippofoundation.org/what-is-sanfilippo/)

Over the past year, Mya's condition has advanced in heartbreaking ways. This relentless disease has taken away her safe mobility. Stairs are no longer an option—they're simply too dangerous. To keep her safe, independent, and dignified, we desperately need a fully accessible handicap bathroom built on the first floor of our home.

This isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. A safe, ground-level bathroom will allow Mya to maintain some privacy and comfort as her needs change, reduce the risk of dangerous falls, and give our family peace of mind during these precious, limited years we have with her.

As a single mom, I'm doing everything I can to provide the best care for Mya and Evan, but the cost of this essential home modification is beyond what I can manage alone. Every donation, no matter the size, will bring us closer to making our home a safer place for Mya to thrive.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading Mya's story and for any support you can offer. Your kindness means the world to us.

With gratitude,

Melissa
