A Shower Chair for Avi who has a lot of anxiety around bathing

Posted Sep 3, 2019
We are requesting a reclining shower chair for Avi who has severe spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. Bathing her is a challenge not only for her new foster parents, but for her too. She is very spastic and contracted and has no control of her body, therefore making bathing physically hard for her foster parents, but also a terrifying experience for her. She has a lot of anxiety during bath time due to not feeling safe. We feel that this shower chair will not only make it physically easier for the foster parents, but also ease Avi's anxiety about bathing.

Avi is 18 years old and lives in OH

Avi was recently placed in foster care. She had previously been in the care of her grandparents. She is wheel chair bound and has many special needs as a quadriplegic. She uses a feeding tube to get the nutrition and medications needed. Avi is non-verbal but has a smile that can light up the whole room. She also has a very fun and contagious laugh. She loves being talked to. Her foster mom reports she likes Zac Efron and they put some pictures of him up in her bedroom. She also has some singing stuffed animals she really likes. She is a very happy and sweet girl most of the time. She struggles with goodbyes and has such a sensitive spirit she will often cry when you say goodbye to her.
