Fearless. Funny. Full of Heart.
Meet Indy – a vibrant young lady with a smile that lights up every room and a personality as bold as her favourite ninja course! Indy is a proud sister, a talented soccer player, and the devoted human to her beloved seizure alert dog, Eevie.
Indy lives with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome and an acquired brain injury following two major brain surgeries that changed her life – but not her spirit. One of the lasting impacts of her surgeries is a visual impairment that affects her peripheral vision, but it hasn’t slowed her down. Since her last surgery, Indy has been seizure-free, and she hasn’t looked back. While her brain still “tries” to misfire, Indy simply keeps running (literally!) toward the next big thing.
She’s got a deep love for soccer, trampoline time, and any activity that gets her heart racing. She’s brave to the bone – tackling ninja courses, climbing frames, and friendships with equal courage. Her support team helps her stay active, build independence, and work on goals like learning to read, strengthening her fine motor skills, and growing her confidence.
Indy communicates beautifully and can light up any room with her infectious smile! She knows what she wants, knows how to get it, and has a strong sense of self that shines through everything she does. Like many children with autism and sensory needs, she’s drawn to comfort foods (chicken nuggets and KFC are top-tier), and we’re always gently guiding her toward balanced choices to support her health and energy.
Above all, Indy is an incredible teacher to those around her. She reminds us daily what it means to live boldly, love freely, and face life with laughter and courage.
At Briighter Care, we feel lucky to walk beside her.
