Gracie is Out and About in Her New Stroller

Gracie is a four year old girl who loves to be outside and active. She enjoys outings to the park, zoo, shopping and just taking a walk with her family. Her diagnoses of Phelan-McDermid Syndrome (PMS) and Autism cause her to tire easily and limit her walking stamina. As she grew her mother was unable to carry her everywhere and oftentimes had to decline community outings that Gracie would enjoy.


Gracie’s family applied to the Love Fund for a special needs stroller. Her new stroller includes a five-point harness that keeps her safe; it also has the ability to recline in case Gracie needs to rest while out and about. The stroller is larger than a traditional baby stroller and will allow her to safely and comfortably enjoy outings for many years. The stroller is lightweight and easy to fold making it easy for Gracie’s caregivers to take her on the outings she enjoys!

“Fox 4 Love Fund’s gift of a stroller will open up Gracie’s world where she can be active and interactive as an able-bodied little girl.”
