About Vanessa's personality

She is my wild child. She has shown so much resilience and strength. She is daredevil. She loves her dresses but she also loves to get down & dirty. Water forget it there is no getting her away w/out a fit she loves it! We maybe 2.5 with limited verbal communication skills but boy does she communicate. Her finger gets wagging as she points when she’s excited & pants like a dog for something she wants. She shows her love for me in so many great ways but her funniest would be to lick my cheek.

What are Vanessa's favorite activities?

She is creative & Imagative. She loves to draw here at home & even at grandmas. She gets enjoyment from using the trampoline. she absolutely loves to jump and bounce down onto her butt to just laugh & laugh.

How would $25,000 impact your family?

This money ohh boy winning it would mean a little more stability for my children. It is more then what is needed to get my daughter a little time with a well experienced speech therapist. It would help in making sure she has the tools needed to communicate effectively in society as she grows. Autism isn’t a label it’s a diagnosis & a difference in how they see the world. 💜💚💙💛
