We are thrilled to announce our December 2022 Precision Cares Recipient - ‘Bee Mighty’ Intensive Therapy Scholarships!! Maya - AKA Mighty Miss Maya – is a tenacious 8-year-old living her life with cerebral palsy like a total boss. On a mission to help others LIVE MIGHTY.
"We started the 'bee mighty' intensive therapy scholarship after our daughter Maya, who has cerebral palsy, attended her first intensive therapy in Boston. It was then that we realized how quickly the costs added up, from the therapy itself to hotels, travel, food, etc. Recognizing that cost was one of the biggest barriers keeping many kids, just like Maya, from receiving the therapies they desperately need and deserve, we decided to create a scholarship fund to help families cover some if not all of the cost of these therapies. To date, we have given over $10,000 in scholarships to families and kids in need. You can check out our scholarships page here www.mightymissmaya.org/get-involved “
