Christmas Wish (Living w/ Spinal Muscular Atrophy)


Jenna received a wish last weekend from The Independence Foundation's Christmas Wish List program.  The program is designed to help provide assistance to children and individuals with physical disabilities become more independent.  The iPad will help Jenna become independent in reading books, playing games, and listening to music.  She will also be able to do education programs that will help her with not only her academic skills, but also with speech therapy.  Thank you Independence Foundation for making Jenna's wish come true!
