💚 Ella’s Story: A Miracle in Motion
When Ella entered this world, she wasn’t expected to survive. Doctors gave her less than a 1% chance of life after being deprived of oxygen at birth. She spent her first months alone in the NICU, abandoned by her birth parents — but God had a bigger plan. Through the miracle of foster care and adoption, Ella found her forever family and a love that would fight for her every step of the way.
Ella was later diagnosed with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, a condition that affects her muscle tone, coordination, and motor control. Living with cerebral palsy means a lifetime of challenges — but it hasn’t stopped her from defying every statistic. She’s a fighter, a warrior, and a living testimony of God’s grace and strength.
Today, Ella is in the fight of her life for independence, mobility, and healing. Every smile, every new movement, every victory is a miracle — but continuing her progress requires access to advanced, out-of-pocket treatments that are not covered by insurance.
This year, thanks to incredible support, Ella has made amazing strides. Now we’re raising funds to continue building on those gains and give her the best chance at long-term recovery and independence.
🌟 Upcoming Treatment Goals
Our upcoming treatment goals for Ella include a secondary stem cell transplant, specialized intensive therapies — including physical, occupational, speech, and feeding therapy — HBOT sessions, adaptive equipment, and ongoing out-of-pocket expenses to support her day-to-day care. These treatments are critical to continuing the progress she’s made and giving her the best chance to reach her milestones.
🙏 How You Can Help
Your generosity directly fuels Ella’s fight for a future filled with movement, communication, and joy. Every donation — large or small — brings her one step closer to independence.
💚 All donations are tax-deductible. 📣 Please share Ella’s story with your friends, family, and community to help us reach more hearts. 🙏 And above all, please keep praying for Ella’s continued healing, because we believe that her story is far from over, and that miracles are still happening every day.
Together, we can help Ella keep defying the odds.
Our 2026 goal is $15,000, and thanks to incredibly generous grants, all of Ella’s 2026 therapy intensives are fully funded. We are beyond grateful for that support.
What we still need to fund is Ella’s next round of stem cell therapy.
We need $5,000 more by February to make this possible.
Stem cells have already changed everything for Ella. After her first round, we saw meaningful shifts in her body, her movement, and her overall comfort — progress we once didn’t know was possible.
Our biggest prayer is that layering additional stem cells will help repair areas of her brain related to speech and feeding, and continue moving her closer to walking independently full time.
This isn’t a quick fix. It’s not guaranteed. But we’ve seen what’s possible — and we believe deeply that continuing this treatment could drastically change her life.
If you’ve followed Ella’s journey, cheered her on, or felt connected to her story, this is how you can help right now.
Every donation matters. Truly. Every share helps more than you know. And every bit brings us closer to giving Ella the very best chance we can.
Thank you for believing in our girl 🤍
