Briella's journey began as she was born four months early, weighing just over a pound. The neonatal intensive care unit became her first home, filled with challenges as she fought to grow stronger. A diagnosis of cerebral palsy added another hurdle, but Briella's determination never wavered. With support from KU Medical Center and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, she embraced therapies and defied expectations, walking at 16 months and conquering swallowing difficulties. Today, Briella is a vibrant 12-year-old, traveling the world and dreaming of becoming a doctor.
