Hi, I’m Carolyn, and the beautiful little girl I’m fundraising for is my daughter, Reagan.
Reagan’s story began with a traumatic birth. During delivery, she became stuck in the birth canal, and what should have been a routine delivery quickly turned into an emergency C-section. Unfortunately, the complications surrounding her birth resulted in a lack of oxygen to her brain, leaving her with a diagnosis of Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE).
Today, Reagan lives with severe cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and other complex medical challenges. She is nonverbal, wheelchair-bound, and relies on a feeding tube for nutrition. Everyday things that many of us take for granted require extra help, countless appointments, therapies, and a level of care that most people will never fully understand.
But Reagan is so much more than her diagnoses.
She is strong, resilient, and has fought through more in her little life than most people will ever know. She has endured surgeries, hospital stays, seizures, and countless challenges, yet she continues to show us just how much fight and determination she has.
As her parents, we have always been determined to give Reagan every opportunity to reach her fullest potential and experience the best quality of life possible. We continue to explore every avenue, therapy, and treatment that might help her, but unfortunately, many of the opportunities that could benefit children like Reagan come with significant out-of-pocket expenses that insurance simply doesn’t cover.
We are currently fundraising to help provide Reagan with:
• Specialized therapies and treatment opportunities
• Adaptive equipment and accessibility needs
• Additional supportive seating and positioning equipment
• Medical and therapeutic equipment not covered by insurance
• Other expenses directly related to Reagan’s care and quality of life
Every dollar raised will go toward helping Reagan access these opportunities and giving her the best chance at continued progress.
If you’re unable to donate, we completely understand. Prayers, shares, encouragement, and simply helping us spread her story mean more than you could ever know. We are hoping this fundraiser reaches someone who may be in a position to help make a difference in Reagan’s life.
Reagan has a family who loves her beyond measure. She has siblings who adore her, and parents who will never stop fighting for her. She didn’t get the easiest start in life, and while we can’t change what happened that day, we can continue fighting to give her the brightest future possible.
We know we can’t change her diagnosis, but we will never stop looking for ways to improve her quality of life, help her experience new things, and give her every opportunity she deserves.
Thank you for loving our girl, supporting our family, and being part of Reagan’s journey. ❤️
