Hi, my name is
Gracie Claire Sauer,
I have cerebral palsy, a neuromuscular disorder which prevents me from sitting, standing or walking without assistance.
I cannot talk, but do a really good job letting my needs be known with some sign language and my eyes.
You can see that I'm a happy girl who always has a smile on my face and brightens the lives of all my friends and family.

I am happy!

I have regular therapy sessions that my Mama and Daddy take me to at NAPA Center (Neurological and Physical Abilitation Center) all the way in Los Angeles, California.
Some of my photos were taken at my last session there in December of '09 and show how hard I work at NAPA Center, yet still keep a positive attitude.
These visits and my regular physical, occupational and speech therapy I receive are very expensive and many times not covered by my medical insurance.
We'd be so happy if we could raise enough money to take me to Costa Rica, where I can receive stem cell therapy to improve my quality of life.
The cost of my therapy and equipment for a special girl like me are really big and sometimes we have to ask for help.
