Last summer Briana’s health took a turn for the worse when she began experiencing debilitating pain and had to be hospitalized. She now has to travel back and forth to San Francisco on a weekly basis to receive medical treatments. The expenses for these treatments along with the travel costs have become so high that a fundraising drive is underway to help her. Her mother Faelin Klein says, “Briana is turning the corner, but she still has a long way to go.”
Many people are not aware of the severe difficulties that a person with a debilitating illness must endure. Briana is a young woman with a disability who has not let her condition define her, and she would like to have the chance to achieve a healthier life, free of pain. With her bright outlook and determination, Briana has served as a mentor and role model to others with disabilities. She and her mother co-founded the non-profit organization Sunshine Connection, which provided a wide variety of services and activities to more than 500 children with disabilities in the Chico community.

Donations in any amount are welcome. “Being healthy is my biggest wish,” says Briana.
