Your Mother's Day Gift Can Help a Toddler with Cerebral Palsy

Vendors are celebrating moms by helping the raise money the West Pasco girl needs for therapy to walk at an event in Dunedin.

The 3-year-old daughter of West Pasco parents is learning to walk — very, very slowly and not without a lot of help.   With expensive therapy (the kind not covered by health insurance), little Kiley Griggs, who has cerebral palsy, is now able to sit up on her own, and stand with some support.
