Every child is unique and has a purpose in this world and challenges can also be viewed as opportunities for great things. I don’t receive the negative and I magnify the positive in her life. She is amazing and she has changed me for the better as a person and as a mother to my other 3 kids. We have a different atmosphere in our home of love, peace and joy, Jaiyana is a big part of that! The most thing we love about Jaiyana is how lovable she is and her good nature. You just can’t help but feel happy around her.
— Angelica, mom of Jaiyana

Meet Jaiyana

Jaiyana is the youngest daughter and little sister of three adoring siblings. She lives in Leominster, MA with her family. Jaiyana was diagnosed with TBCK just before her 3rd birthday. Jaiyana loves to feel proud doing" “big girl” things as her family calls when she practices her standing and sitting independently. She is working hard in her walker to take steps forward. She is a very happy little girl and her spirit is contagious, she is often “smooched all day long” by her mom and siblings. Like some of our other TBCK Warriors she is soothed by mouthing her hands, but that is something that is a focus in her therapies to move away from and focus more on other skills.

Jaiyana is a very happy and laid-back little girl and as her mom shares, “the sweetest girl we have ever seen!” Her sister and two brothers lead by their mother prove to be an incredible family to their brave and beautiful little sister- Jaiyana.
