Nevada Girl with SMA Gets Miniature Dream Home

Posted on July 8, 2007 in Spinal Muscular Atrophy News Stories

Make-a-wish Foundation is making the wish of a Nevada girl with SMA come true. The Reno Gazette-Journal recently published a story about seven-year-old Satori Lewis and her wish to have a playhouse big enough that she could drive her electric wheelchair inside and move around.  With the help of 20 businesses in her Dayton, NV hometown, that wish will be fulfilled this week.

Here’s an excerpt from the story:

Satori said she is excited for the playhouse to arrive and has a special spot under a large cottonwood tree selected in her family’s backyard.

The area will have a secret backyard garden and a special ambience with a steel dragon that her grandmother gave her to guard over the very special play place.

She said she plans to invite some of her friends over for a house-warming party after the playhouse is set up. Satori decided on a beading party for the first entertaining she will do in her new playhouse.

She said she chose white for the inside walls to display her artwork.

“Of course there will be a book shelf and drafting table and maybe curtains,” Satori said.

You can read the entire story at the Gazette-Journal website.
