Riley has been blessed with not only stability, but also a MAGNIFICENT, infectious, hopeful, and genuine personality. Riley has the sunniest outlook on life, and though she has walked a difficult path as a (now) seven-year-old, she is always looking forward with a glint of hope. She has expressed a desire to be a banker, a boss, a restaurateur, a hotel owner, and other things! She even hopes to live on a farm someday where she can care for animals. Riley loves playing with her dolls, watching shows, dancing to music in the living room, and being with her friends and family. She’s also involved in adaptive dance, baseball, and is taking swimming lessons! Riley is a hard worker, and yet is always present and ready to make a card for a friend who is sad. Riley is a joy to be around, and has the best belly laugh you’ve ever heard (with a witty sense of humor to go with it!).

Near-term, the most immediate need we have as a family is to purchase a wheelchair accessible van for transporting Riley to school, appointments, and her favorite activities. After that is obtained, all other funds will go toward expected 2023 expenses including a new wheelchair, a bladder surgery and recovery (likely out of town), orthodontia (to help correct her airway for better breathing), physical therapy, and other medical expenses. Long term we hope to purchase a home and modify it to be ADA accessible so Riley can access as much of the home as possible.

Riley is the ministry we have been given by God to pour our lives into for the next fifteen years and beyond. Donating to Help Hope Live will allow us to invest as much as we possibly can to care for her and ensure she can thrive both now and in the future, while being free from the anxiety and stress that comes from such large expenses. Thank you so much for your partnership in this ministry of ours for our girl. We are grateful for each and every one of you.

Blessings,
Josh and Sarah
