Two years after a severe episode from a rare neurological genetic disorder, Vayda is fighting for her chance at a more independent future. Her condition has stolen traditional milestones—running, playing, and engaging with the world as other children do. Now, at a critical point in her development, she needs a more structured, intensive rehabilitation program to give her the best opportunity to regain strength and mobility. 

 

Vayda and her mom, Brittany, are preparing to relocate to Utah for a three-month inpatient rehabilitation program that will focus on daily physical, occupational, and speech therapy. After exhausting all available therapy options in their hometown, they are hopeful that this program will help Vayda make meaningful progress before it’s too late to rebuild essential neuropathways. 

 

During their time away, Brittany will be unable to work, and they will be without the close support of family and friends. They need your help to make this opportunity possible. In addition to intensive therapy, they also plan to consult with a functional neurologist to explore immune-boosting treatments, helping Vayda grow stronger between setbacks and fight off future episodes. 

 

Your generosity will directly support Vayda’s medical care, travel, expenses of rehab, and daily needs during their stay. Every donation brings them one step closer to giving Vayda the best chance at experiencing the simple joys of childhood—standing, playing, and interacting with the world around her.
