Scarlet’s Story:

Thirteen-year-old Scarlet faced a daunting challenge. Diagnosed with scoliosis, the severe 85-degree curve in her spine caused her immense pain. Her condition required spinal fusion surgery, involving rods and screws to straighten her spine. This critical procedure meant Scarlet and her family had to journey over 200 miles from their home in Branson, Missouri, to Columbia for the necessary medical care.
