Help Grace Reach Her NAPA Intensive
Gracie’s family is raising funds to help her attend a life changing three-week PT, OT and ST therapy intensive at NAPA Center in Austin, Texas, an out-of-state treatment that is not covered by insurance. NAPA intensives have helped many children make significant gains through modalities not used by traditional therapies, and her family is hopeful this opportunity can help Gracie continue progressing after the injury she sustained at just one year old.
The estimated cost of the three-week intensive is approximately $15,000, before travel expenses. This goal does not include airfare, lodging, meals, transportation, or other costs associated with traveling to Austin.
Gracie’s family lives in Billings, Montana, and they do not have friends or family in the Austin area. They are unfamiliar with the city, making the travel portion of this intensive an additional financial challenge.
Gracie’s mom works part-time while her dad works full-time. They have already invested a significant amount of their own money into non-Western medical interventions and other treatments in an effort to help Gracie recover. When Gracie was injured at one year old, doctors told her family that she would never recover. They have continued to fight for her, seek out opportunities, and believe in her potential every step of the way.
At this point, their savings have been stretched by the many expenses they have taken on for Gracie’s care. Raising enough funds to make this three-week intensive possible is incredibly important to their family.
