Lila Coe

Thank you for taking the time to visit and share our fundraiser!

Lila was born in 2014, shortly after birth she started having seizures, upon further medical investigation it was revealed that Lila suffered from a bilateral stroke in utero due to unknown causes. Lila is wheelchair bound, nonverbal and uses a gtube for medication administration and nutrition. Lila as a result has diagnoses that include hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, developmental delay, seizure disorder, cortical visual impairment amongst other diagnoses. Lila see’s a variety of specialists multiple times per year to manage her disability.

Despite Lila’s struggles she is a thriving, social, resilient young girl! Her smile and laugh is truly contagious and she brightens the lives of everyone who surrounds her! Lila would prefer to spend her time listening to music such as Miranda Lambert, Morgan Wallen, and Taylor Swift. She loves playing in the water and beach days are her favorite!

Raising money for a wheelchair van is imperative, we currently own a 2018 Kia Sedona that unfortunately does not meet the requirements for the conversion, in order to trade in the vehicle we would have to take a loss on the loan as we purchased the vehicle recently in 2022 unknowingly to the requirements of the conversion. We have attempted to apply for a variety of grants to no avail, the need for an adapted vehicle is urgent due to the hazard it is to her and us to transfer her currently. We strive for the ultimate goal of purchasing an already adapted vehicle that would last us until Lila is 21 which is when the state offers to pay for a vehicle. Purchasing a used wheelchair van with high mileage unfortunately, would not be in our best interest as longevity of the vehicle is imperative!
