We are Katie and Esther, friends of Carmen Smith. We would love to share her story with you!

Carmen is the mother of two beautiful, loving girls – Elana (Lani) and Alexis. Due to cerebral palsy, Lani is transported via wheelchair.

There are several factors that make this life extremely difficult, and we wanted to paint a picture of some of these challenges with you all so that you can get an idea of the extent of care that Lani requires. At this time, this family does not have a wheelchair-accessible van to take Lani to doctors, school, activities, etc. Any time Lani has had surgery, which she has had plenty, she has had to take medical transport. In order for Lani to ride in Carmen’s current van, Carmen has to lift Lani from her wheelchair into the van, then back out of the van into her wheelchair. Carmen has to lift 14-year-old Lani by herself as Lani cannot support her own body weight.
