Meet Our Kids

Carlie  was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy.  She was given hyperbaric treatments to improve her quality of life, which the foundation helps pay for since it is not fully covered by insurance.  Carlie has amazed many, including the doctors, by the progress that she has made from getting these treatments.  After 30 treatments she started climbing up onto the couch, and getting around like her family had never seen.  

Carlie have been motivated and is showing interest, when she never seemed concerned about before. After receiving these treatments, she started to feed herself finger foods such as goldfish crackers.  This may not seem like much but at the time she had just turned 5 and was developmentally 6-9 months. Through something as natural and pure as 100% pressurized oxygen, God was answering their prayers.

Shayna is a little girl who was diagnosed at 4 years old with an Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT). This is a type of cancer found behind her bladder. She has undergone numerous surgeries, chemotherapy, and months of hospitalization. The foundation has helped pay Shayna's doctor and hospital bills.  The financial help relieved an enormous burden while Shayna was hospitalized at St. Jude's Hospital. There, she received care and treatment that has allowed her to return to a life of a hopeful future.

Currently there are no signs of cancer and she is well on the road to recovery. She is the only known survivor of this type of cancer located behind the bladder.
