In honor of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, we are proud to share the story of Steena and her family. 💚🤎
🎁Steena has a special gift for bringing people together—often for a cause. From organizing a kickball game that raised over $3,000 for United Way of Hardin County to hosting a lemonade stand that raised $4,200 to help eliminate negative school lunch balances, Steena is making a real impact in her community. 🫶
Her journey began when her family navigated the diagnosis of a rare chromosome duplication. With the support of therapists and Early Intervention services, Steena continued to grow, learn, and thrive.
🏀🏆🥇Now in 8th grade at Kenton Middle School, Steena is active in Special Olympics basketball, co****le and bowling, where she has found confidence, joy, and her place to shine. She dreams big—hoping one day to join the WNBA or become a YouTuber. 💫🏀🎥🖥️
Steena’s story is a powerful reminder of inclusion, perseverance, and the impact one person can have on an entire community.
