Karla continued to exemplify courage throughout her recovery process and therapy treatments.

Karla was in a car accident and admitted to the CoxHealth Dee Ann White Women’s and Children’s Hospital pediatric ICU. Even though she had limitations with a cast and walker for her fractured leg, she was very motivated to be up and moving around. Her nurse was amazed at how resilient and brave she was throughout her hospital experience. Karla’s biggest concerns were about her grandmother and a younger brother who also suffered injuries from the accident.

After a few days in the PICU, Karla continued to exemplify courage throughout her recovery process and therapy treatments. She was nominated by her Child Life Specialist Rana Post, and Kids Wish Network happily honored brave Karla as a Hero of the Month.

Kids Wish Network has been making dreams come true for children since 1997. We are dedicated to infusing hope, creating happy memories, and improving the quality of life for children experiencing life-altering situations. We started with the single purpose of granting wishes to children suffering from life-threatening conditions but have since created additional programs to benefit kids nationwide, including Hero of the Month, Project Toy Drop, Holiday of Hope Gift Banks, and A Child Forever Funeral Assistance.
