Help Create an Accessible Future for Zara…
Zara is a 9-year-old girl with complex medical, neurological, developmental, and physical disabilities, including Caudal Regression Syndrome, Spina Bifida, Autism Level 3, seizures, significant mobility impairment, Deaf/Hard of Hearing needs, and dementia-like neurological presentations.
Earlier this year, Zara experienced a severe medical crisis and spent approximately one month on life support. She survived, but her mobility, neurological, and accessibility needs became even greater.
Zara now relies heavily on her wheelchair, braces, adaptive equipment, and caregiver assistance. She is also preparing for bilateral hip surgeries, followed later by surgeries on both feet, making a safe and accessible environment increasingly urgent.
The goal is $100,000 to help meet eligible accessibility, medical, mobility, and recovery-related needs, including:
*Wheelchair-accessible living space *Accessible bathroom and bathing areas *Safe bedroom and surgical recovery space * Wheelchair-friendly entrances, doorways, and pathways. *Adaptive and medical equipment needs *Accessibility modifications as Zara grows
Unfortunately, Zara also falls into gaps within existing disability support systems. She does not meet certain cognitive eligibility requirements despite her significant physical and medical needs, while other programs can involve years-long waiting lists.
Her family continues to pursue every available program, appeal, grant, and community resource.
But Zara cannot wait years for accessibility.
Her wheelchair needs exist now. Her surgeries are approaching. Her safety matters now.
This campaign is an opportunity for individuals, businesses, organizations, churches, disability advocates, and community groups to come together and make a direct difference.
Many hands can make this goal possible.
Please consider donating, sharing Zara’s campaign, hosting a fundraiser, or passing her story along to someone who may be able to help.
Help us create an environment that adapts to Zara—not one that Zara must continue struggling to adapt to. ♿
📺 Zara’s Story Made the News! 💜We have a HUGE update to share — Zara’s story was featured on CBS 21 News! 🥹💜For so long, we have been fighting to get people to understand that accessibility is not a luxury for Zara — it is a necessity. Zara relies heavily on her wheelchair and faces complex medical needs, upcoming surgeries, hearing and communication needs, and daily barriers that most families never have to think about.Seeing her story finally being heard beyond our own little circle means more than I can put into words.Our goal is still the same: to create a home and environment where Zara can move safely, bathe safely, recover from surgery, access the things she needs, and have as much independence as possible.Every donation, share, business connection, fundraiser, and person who tells Zara’s story helps us get one step closer. 💜Please watch Zara’s story and share it. You never know whose heart it may reach or who may be able to help change this little girl’s life.📺 CBS 21 / Local 21 News:https://local21news.com/news/local/york-county-family-seeks-home-upgrades-for-9-year-old-with-complex-medical-needs-pa-pennsylvania-disability-caudal-regression-syndrome-autismThank you for helping Zara be seen, heard, and given the accessibility she deserves. 💜♿Accessibility isn’t a luxury. It’s a need.
