Help us give Zoë a fighting chance!

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind-Hearted Supporters,

I am reaching out today with a heartfelt plea on behalf of my incredible daughter, Zoë. At 12 years old and as a rising 8th grader, Zoë has faced more challenges than many will in a lifetime. Born with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy, a chromosomal deletion, Lennox-Gastaut epilepsy, dysphagia, asthma, and restrictive lung disease, she has shown us the true meaning of strength and resilience.

Zoë’s primary diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy affects numerous essential functions, including body movement, muscle control, coordination, tone, reflex, posture, and balance. She also faces difficulties with fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and oral motor functioning. Despite being non-verbal, Zoë is a vibrant, communicative, and loving daughter and sister who brings boundless joy to our lives. Her beautiful smile lights up our days, and her positive energy is contagious. Zoë loves music, bubbles, listening to audiobooks, and spending time with her siblings. She cherishes her time at school and enjoys making new friends.

Zoë’s courage and determination inspire everyone she meets. She faces each day with a bright smile, teaching our family invaluable lessons about hope and perseverance. We want to ensure she remains active, healthy, safe, and engaged with her community. To do this, Zoë requires daily physical, occupational, feeding, and speech therapy, along with weekly visits to numerous specialty doctors.

As we plan for Zoë’s future and the barriers she will encounter as an adult, we are raising funds through the nonprofit Help Hope Live to cover uninsured medical expenses related to her condition.

Right now, our most urgent need is a wheelchair accessible vehicle to transport Zoë to her various appointments and therapies. The cost of such a vehicle is approximately $75,000 for a used model. This vehicle is crucial for Zoë’s health and well-being, ensuring she can continue receiving the care and support she needs.

We humbly ask for your support in this endeavor. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in Zoë’s life. Together, we can help her navigate the challenges she faces and give her the fighting chance she deserves.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity, love, and support.

With gratitude, SiSi Dillard
