You Can Help a Little Pixie Get Her Wings (An Update On Kaitlyn's Bike Fund)

You Can Help a Little Pixie Get Her Wings

An Update On Kaitlyn's Bike Fund (posted 1/14/12)

Kaitlyn is a sweet 8 year old active and loving girl, she has Traumatic Brain Injury resulting in permanent brain damage. Her mother's heart broke when they told her Kaitlyn would never walk or talk. Little Feisty Pixie, Kaitlyn beat the odds and relearned to walk and talk! Her smile will win your heart.

Now Kaitlyn needs a special bike. It is not just for pleasure rides with family and little friends. Yes there will be the fun pleasure rides. This bike will help her strengthen her weakened left side. It will also be designed to be easy enough for her to use. The doctors ordered this bike for physical therapy but insurance does not cover it. She used a loaner bike that was slightly adapted for her temporary use during physical therapy so it is known she can use it and it does help her development. That use is limited. She needs more unrestricted use of the bike.

Not only will the bike help her physically it will also help her emotional and psychological development. This bike will give her freedom of movement that other kids have. That will help build her self esteem. Build the mind and the body will follow.

Peter, "Are you a Dark Fairy?"
Kaitlyn, "YES"

This special bike is very expensive, $3,714, it is this expensive because it will be designed just for Kaitlyn. It is also designed to "grow" with Kaitlyn so she will get years of use out of it. The cost is high but the reward for Kaitlyn is priceless.

So far $1,325 has been raised for Kaitlyn's "Purple WINGS". Can you find it in your heart to help this Precious Pixie get her bike? Even a dollar is appreciated by this family.

I promise this story is true. I know this family personally. All funds donated go into a locked account that can only be used for the purchase of this bike. If you look at the site it directly states what the money is for.

I would like to thank the several Disney Fan Sites that have helped to spread the word about Kaitlyn's need. PLEASE if you are looking for a good Disney fix on the web or just wanting to spend time chatting about things Disney check out the following sites.

Walt's Basement

First on the list is Walt's Basement. Walt's started the ball rolling and sounded the Pixie Bells calling for Pixie Dust. Kaitlyn's mother is an active part of Walt's Basement. Spreading Pixie Dust is part of Walt's Mission Statement.
