Amelia Gerlock was born with a rare chromosomal disorder that has left her with significant disabilities. Amelia is 13 years old, attends a private school for children with special needs for her education and all her therapies. Amelia has a special connection to our family as her physical therapist Kari Woodell was also the physical therapist for Adrianna and Alessandra One of Amelia’s favorite activities is swimming. Due to Amelia’s significant issues with her spine, it wasn’t easy to find a swim device that would keep Amelia not only safe but also comfortable. There was a floating device that was specifically developed for children with cerebral palsy and was sold only in Australia.  ABFA is providing funds for Amelia to purchase this device in the US.
