Anabelle’s Scholarship Fund
Anabelle Wilson was born in December of 2010. She met all of her milestones on time or sooner. She was walking, talking and playing like any other child. When she was about 18 months old, her parents started to notice that she was having trouble keeping up with her peers. After a long search for answers, Anabelle was finally diagnosed when she was 2 years, 3 months old with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy. Anabelle started steadily losing all of her learned functions over the course of about 6 months. She eventually had to use a wheelchair to get around, a feeding tube to eat and could no longer talk. She was still always the most content and happy child. She loved to snuggle and watch good movies, loved to be in the pool and at school, and loved to be around lots of people. Unfortunately, Anabelle passed when she was 6 1/2 and we all miss her terribly.

This presented a significant problem as the majority of children in need of pediatric therapy have OHP insurance. Over the years of working in Central Oregon, Christen was also frustrated that there were little to no options for kids in need of speech or occupational therapy services….
