Haley, 19 years old, CA | NEEDED BY 10/30

Wish submitted by:

Haley is a determined young woman who strives to be as independent as possible. She is confident in advocating for herself and is not afraid to express how she is feeling in the moment. Once you get to know Haley, you quickly discover her fun and playful personality. She loves making jokes and can have the people around her laughing with her sense of humor. Haley has experienced a life-changing incident that temporarily set back some of her educational goals. Despite these challenges, she remains determined to move forward and continue pursuing her education. Haley is committed to attending community college and hopes to major in physical therapy. Her own experiences have influenced her desire to pursue this field and potentially help others who may face challenges similar to those she has experienced. Haley enjoys going out to eat and relaxing while watching her favorite tv shows.

Following a recent leg surgery, the latest in a series of difficult procedures, Haley is currently unable to walk and, due to unexpected recovery setbacks, cannot use her planned knee scooter. Relying on a manual wheelchair requires someone else to push her, leaving her largely homebound and dependent on others for everyday movement. An electric seated scooter would immediately restore Haley’s independence, empowering her to navigate crucial doctor's appointments safely on her own, reconnect with friends, and regain a vital sense of autonomy and normalcy while she continues to heal.
