Thank you one and all!
With your help, we've met our initial goal! The orthotics have been ordered and we hope to have them in the next couple weeks. We'll add pictures of them when we have them.
Donations made to this campaign will be set aside to help offset the future (always rising) medical costs for our darling daughter.
Meet Kaela: beloved daughter to Scott and Julie Leonard, long-awaited sister for Wyatt. A month after she was born in 2014, she was diagnosed with severe microcephaly (small head--her brain isn't growing and is in the 0 percentile on growth charts). With several tests and assessments, we learned that she has large duplications of her fourth chromosome, and a genetic mutation. Despite finding these issues, we don't know for sure what caused her microcephaly. Nor do we know what the future holds for our dear, remarkable little girl.
So far she is developmentally delayed (a 17 month-old toddler who can do what the average 6-8 month old baby can). One of her delays in the gross motor skills category is with walking. With your generosity, the orthotics have been ordered and I'm so excited to be able to share with you her journey to walking indpendently!
It's difficult to prepare for a future that you can't possibly know what to anticipate. Every milestone reached is a surprise, a blessing and a miracle. We are proud to have you as part of our team and Kaela's remarkable journey.
Donate what you can, and if you can't donate, please help by sharing our campaign. The more people see it, the more help we can get.
