Read Chevelle's Story

Chevelle is a sweet little girl who was born with an unknown rare liver disease. This disease is very dangerous and has caused her liver to shut down.
n
nAt 14-months-old, Chevelle was placed on a liver transplant list. Her health was so poor that her body was unable to absorb nutrients, and she required many medications.
n
nOn November 20, 2020, Chevelle underwent an 8-hour liver transplant surgery. The surgery was a success but soon after her body started to reject the new liver.
n
nChevelle and her family have traveled back and forth from Medford to Stanford for most of 2021, because Chevelle’s new liver has made her very ill.
n
nChevelle is once again on the liver transplant list and will go in for surgery as soon as possible.
n
nOnce Chevelle receives a new liver, she and her family will be required to live within 2 hours of the hospital because her health is so fragile.
n
nChevelle is a little warrior. She is very happy, intelligent, loves to snuggle, and has a smile that lights up a room.
n
nChevelle will be adopted as a Sparrow to Lone Pine Elementary School. Lone Pine Students will work hard to raise money for Chevelle through sponsored community service.
