Ella’s Journey
Ella was diagnosed with polymicrogyria shortly after birth and received a cerebral palsy diagnosis at just 18 months. She has been involved in numerous therapies since her diagnosis and continues with many of those today. Even with everything she faces, she continues to meet each challenge with a strength that inspires everyone around her.

She has been involved in numerous therapies since her diagnosis and continues with many of those today. Even with everything she faces, she continues to meet each challenge with a strength that inspires everyone around her.
As many of you know, a lot of Ella’s progress depends on therapies that help her brain, body, and nervous system create new pathways. These therapies and treatments are not entirely covered by insurance even though they change her life in powerful ways.
The most difficult aspect of managing these treatments is knowing that insurance only covers a very small amount, if any of the cost. Raising a child with a disability costs, on average, 10 times more, totaling $1.4 to $2.4 million from birth to age 18 and no family should have to face that alone.
Each intensive or treatment is approximately $4,000, and staying consistent with these treatments is incredibly important for Ella’s long-term progress. These intensives give her the chance to build strength, grow her confidence, and work toward reaching her developmental goals. This community has chosen to rally around her family so she can continue getting the support that truly moves her forward.

Your generosity directly funds life-changing treatments like:
• Stem cell therapy
• DMI and Feeding Intensives for 2026
• Travel and lodging costs associated with each
• Functional Neurology treatments such as photobiomodulation
Each of these costs thousands of dollars a year, and without outside support, they simply wouldn’t be possible.
Thank you for loving Ella so well, and for being part of her story.
