Tiffany McClintock

Tiffany is a single mother in need of a Handicap Accessible Van.

She has a condition called Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral Palsy is usually caused at birth because of lack of oxygen to the brain. It causes the signals in your brain to not communicate correctly with the rest of your body. It affects all four of Tiffany’s extremities, especially her right side causing her muscles to have spasms, and be in a constant state of spatisity.

Over the course of her life Tiffany has gone through different therapies including speech, occupational and physical therapy. She has undergone 14 surgeries to help her go from a wheelchair to walking with her walker. Many of her surgeries had to be repeated to keep correcting deformities caused by the spatisity in her legs. Cerebral palsy also causes balance and motor skills problems for Tiffany making every day tasks twice as hard. Tiffany has worked very hard to overcome her obstacles that many said wouldn’t happen.

She was never suppose to walk, talk, or live independently. She proved the doctors wrong and lives independently with her teen daughter.

This condition also causes Tiffany’s body to age 5x faster than an able body person. Cerebral Palsy has started to now affect Tiffany in ways that are unimaginable. Tiffany has been restricted to her bed not able to walk at all. She can only sit in her wheelchair for 2 hours a day.

Since March of 2019 the spatisity in her muscles have been pulling on her hip to become extremely twisted and out of the socket causing constant chronic pain everyday. Tiffany is now going to be in a powerchair permanently. She has undergone intense physical and occupational therapy and botox injections to try to correct and reverse the effects of the spastisity and abnormality. Tiffany will now be having Hip Surgery to put her hip back into the correct position to try to help alleviate her chronic pain. She is in great need of a Handicap Accessible Van that she will be able to drive from her powerchair that will make it possible for her to leave the house and gain some of her independence back. Making it easier to go to doctors appointments, therapy and get the treatments she needs in order to live a better quality of life.

Tiffany loves the Lord and has been a continuous light during this trying time to all who know her. No amount is to big or to small. Any amount will help. Please pray for Tiffany and her daughter and ask the Lord how He would like you to help.
