Lisa Clement hasn't added a story.
My name is Lisa and I am the best mother I can be to my super awesome 7 year old daughter, Harper. I remember when she was a baby and I would marvel at how tiny she was. This is no longer the case. She is growing quickly and outgrowing her current mode of transportation. Harper is a wonderful, happy child who has brain damage as a result of powerful seizures (specifically infantile spasms) that began when she was about 4 months old. This has left her with a general diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy and thus she is unable to walk without assistance, cannot sit unassisted and is non-verbal.
Yet Harper is an about town kind of girl and she is involved in everything you can think of, from ballet to swimming to therapy to Girl Scouts. She loves trips to the zoo, beach and aquariums. Harper and her caregivers, Jean and Ronnie (also known as Gamma and Gampa) are in need of adequate transportation. They take her to therapy and pick her up from school while I work. She needs an adapted van in the next year, as Gamma and Gampa are of advanced age and are progressively less able to transport her via lifting. They also have to disassemble and reassemble her 63 pound wheelchair numerous times each day and this is physically taking a toll on everyone, including me. The disassembly and reassembly also makes it impossible for Harper to effectively use her communication device as it is unable to be permanently mounted to her wheelchair at this time. I would love for her to be able to have access to her "voice" consistently. This fundraising platform is part of a bigger fundraising project for her van. I've applied (and am applying) for various grants through the state and non-profits, but many of them will only pay for modifications and not the van itself. Some grants will match dollar for dollar what we raise here, so this is just the beginning. As fall approaches we will have a T-shirt campaign along with a silent auction (if you are local to us) and an opportunity for you to participate in powerball raffles for prizes such as zoo tickets and gift cards via facebook. I want to make this as successful as possible, as quickly as possible so that Harper can remain in the care of her Gamma and Gampa.
Of course I will keep everyone informed on any grants she receives and the overall progress of this fundraiser. I do appreciate any and all financial assistance, support, shares and prayers. If you are interested in sponsoring an event i.e. motorcycle ride, an event through a church or organization, please reach out to me.
