What we've been up to is graduation parties finishing school and now that summer has started hanging out with friends and doing all this summer things that we love to do. Levi is now 5 years old I am now 19 years old we're going to do college online I am going to school for medical coding and billing you may be asking why I'm going to school for medical coding and billing and the reason is because I have lived dealing with medical bills and the medical field for pretty much my whole life. Another question you may be asking yourself is did we stop post...

  The story of how we became a team.   Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a service dog? Everyone who wants and has a legal right to have a service dog should have the choice to get one. The application and fundraising process was long and hard, but absolutely worth it. The application process took eight months, filling out a long paper application that included a lot of personal and medical documentation, and two separate video interviews before I found out I was selected. After we found out I was selected, the fundraising began. Thankfully, we applied for and received a scholarship for half the cost of my dog. That left us with $14,000 to raise. We applied in February 2017 and were finally notified that I was selected in October 2017. We started fundraising right away and reached our goal, with the help of our community, family, friends, and classmates, in March 2018. Training camp is a two-week camp where I received training on how to work with my d...

                                                         Wheelchair My wheelchair is as Comfortable as a feather  Moves fast like a track star A speedy purple grape Gives me power… To move To explore To go far Gives me Independence To go places by myself  To make lunch To be on my own To hangout with friends Gives me Freedom To be without a helper To travel To take care of myself and pets To be me We hope you enjoyed this poem.    Bye for now from Kaelie and Levi

     When I was a baby, my leg started to twitch uncontrollably and that was out of the norm for me or anyone else. My mom took me to a doctor and they looked me over and they said “Oh she’s fine”. My mom got the papers back from the appointment. When my mom read the papers, it said I had Cerebral Palsy. My mom was upset that they didn’t tell her to her face. From there, she started looking for hospitals for special needs that I could go to. She found Shriner’s Children’s Hospital. I started going there so they could help me with my Cerebral Palsy. Each Cerebral Palsy diagnosis is different. Mine is very different from other peoples because some other people can still walk and have control over their legs and I wasn’t able to have control over my legs' I have very little control over my legs and it makes very hard for me to walk without support and where I go, it takes a lot of my arms.  It makes it very hard for your hands to grip things. I was put in a stro...
