Cerina Wise hasn't added a story.
Cerina is a beautiful 10-year-old fifth grader from Chattanooga Tennessee. After being sick and seeing dozens of doctors for nearly two years, Cerina was admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care in 2021 in full Diabetic ketoacidosis. One additional day would have put our, beautiful 8-year-old into a complete diabetic coma.
After a full week stay at T.C Thompson Children's Hospital, Cerina rebounded resiliently to her new routine of multiple daily insulin injections and finger pokes. She was so happy to feel better and dived right in asking to rejoin ballet, acting, and modeling.
I am happy to say Cerina now attends Chattanooga Ballet and is a level 3.
We also enrolled Cerina in the invite-only Barbizon Modeling school. Over a 6 month period, we traveled to Atlanta to attend monthly 8-hour classes on industry standards for auditions, runways, print ads, and the entertainment industry. While this did take a toll on our family finances, we thought it imperative to help her regain her confidence, with not only her new normal of being a type 1 diabetic but as an artist and dreamer as well.
After completing her Barbizon school, Cerina attended the open audition for the southeastern regional talent competition. She was one of only twenty who were selected out of hundreds to represent Barbizon at the event with casting directors and agencies from throughout the entertainment industry.
Between a ruptured water main, a new water heater, car repairs, and monthly medical supplies needed for her new insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor the opportunity is a daunting expense we are trying to find support to help her attend.
Cerina is planning on selling her artwork, having a yard sale, as well as making Frozen Ice, baked goods and hot chocolate bombs to help earn money for her competition as well.
She is a resilient and determined young lady!
