Kosair Kids: Sloane Grant

You are making a difference for Kosair Kids and families like the Grants — Katie, Nick and their five-year-old daughter, Sloane.

Katie and Nick do not define Sloane by her special needs, but by the milestones she reaches, and their hopes and dreams for her future. Even when they share stories of their hardest days with Sloane — from her diagnoses of a heart defect and Down syndrome to her traumatic brain injury that affected her development — they always focus on the joyful moments. Katie and Nick cherish special moments as Sloane shows progress thanks to therapies she receives at Kosair for Kids' grant-supported organizations.

Sloane has access to crucial therapies — including equine, aqua, feeding, speech, and physical — which help her progress every day through Kosair for Kids' grant-supported organizations. Now, she is moving her arms and legs more, holding her head up, and working on rolling over. Sloane also has costly medical equipment and care she needs thanks to the Kosair Kids Financial Assistance Program.

“It is a relief knowing that we have Kosair for Kids' community of support,” Katie said. “Sloane is getting everything she needs, because of you all.”
