Lubbock Community Gets New Wheelchair for 6-Year-Old

A 6-year-old girl with cerebral palsy got a new wheelchair with help from community members in Lubbock.

According to our Nexstar media partners at KAMC-TV, Olivia Anders was born seven weeks premature and later developed cerebral palsy.

Members of Team Lulu, a group formed by realtors in Lubbock, recognized that Olivia needed a new wheelchair. The group, aided by contributions from businesses and community members, was able to raise the $41,000 required to give Olivia new independence she did not have before.
