Teen gifted therapy hot tub

An Elmwood Park, Illinois, teenager with a rare neurological disorder was gifted a hot tub this November by the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Thirteen-year-old Amelia suffers from seizures, and the hot tub will provide therapeutic benefits.

“She had a stroke when she was about three weeks old, which led to Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, which led to dystonia,” said Amelia’s mother. “This incredible hot tub will help her relax and enjoy life and have a better quality of life. We wouldn’t be able to do this without Make-AWish. I’m incredibly indebted to them. This team has been wonderful.”

The hot tub came thanks to donations from partners, including Marquis Spa and The Great Escape.
