The Gofundme drive to finance a specially made “trike” for nine-year-old Storm Laker Alyssa Eaton is making great progress, says her mother Vicki Carney. Twenty-two people have donated $1,095 in four days. The goal is $1,800.
“She is a typical third-grader except she is dependent on her wheelchair for movement because of cerebral palsy,” says Carney. Alyssa was able to enjoy riding a "special" trike until about two years ago when she had a growth spurt and outgrew it. Since she needs a trike specially designed for her, a new one costs around $3,000.
