In 1981 my daughter was born three months premature. She weighed 2 pounds and now lives with Cerebral Palsy. This month is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month. In 2002 she was crowned Miss Hibernia in Genesee County, Michigan. She led the St. Patrick's Day parade that year. Now she lives and works in remote Alaska. Today she is being screened for the COVID-19 virus because of a possible exposure. March is always a busy month for her.
She’s gorgeous!!!
Tell her to follow @fifiandmo on Instagram.
Little girl with CP, momma making it work, shining a light on it.
@Kitty62862 Thank you! She is my bright light in the world. Her mom passed away shortly after my daughter was born so it has been just the two of us.
I will pass that along to her. I know she follows many people who live with CP. Her favorite is another Michigan girl. https://www.instagram.com/mightymissmaya/?hl=en

@Kitty62862 I remember seeing this. These kids are all hero's! This is Mighty Miss Maya the day she took her first steps. I have been n contact with her family and my daughter and I are hoping to visit with them this summer. If all the health scares are gone!

Finley was selected for a program by Lexus. They built a kiddie car, that’s an adaptive wheelchair, but doesn’t look like one

@Kitty62862 That car is really cool! When my daughter was younger she tried not to appear to have a disability. She refused canes, walkers, wheelchairs and anything else that would help. Now that she is grown up she embraces all these things and loves that they give her added mobility.
