Join Yami Torres in Supporting Bridging Bionics' Athletes!

Hi,

Yami has been with Bridging Bionics for 3.5 years, and at seven years of age, that is half her life! When Yami began, she was much smaller than she is now and dependent on others for movement and many different activities in her daily life. Since starting BBF, her balance has improved tremendously.

Yami uses the Upsee device at her physical therapy sessions to assist her in taking steps, supporting herself, and walking in a smooth pattern. Since starting at BBF, we have gotten our own Upsee at home and have used it for years. In her sessions at BBF, Yami has been working on overall strengthening in both sitting and standing positions to do activities on her own. Our next goal is for Yami to have control over her movements. It has been amazing to see Yami improve as she has grown with the program and we are excited to watch her continue to meet her goals in therapy!

For this reason, I wanted to pay it forward by helping fundraise for their '23 Bridging Mobility Campaign. I am asking for your support to help me raise my personal goal of $500. With 64% of the athletes that Bridging Bionics serves needing financial assistance, donations will go directly towards scholarships that will cover their annual $500 program fee. Overall, by mobilizing together, we hope to raise a total of $20,000 for this cause and any amount of donation counts!

By becoming a donor, you will be giving the gift of mobility to all Bridging Bionics' athletes and will ensure everyone has access to a healthier, physically active, socially connected and fulfilling life!

I Appreciate Your Help,

Yami's Mom, Mirza
