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.
