SMA has created a lot of needs for Ava. Below is her wish list and how to help. We appreciate everyone who has helped little Ava so far!
Donations are used only for Ava’s care, equipment, and medical expenses. You can make a secure credit card donation using the ChipIn button below, or you can send a donation to Ava McLin c/o Randy McLin at the address below:
Ava McLin c/o Randy McLin
12001 Aintree Lane
Reston, VA 20191
The items you see below are things that Ava can use around the house, for playing or for treatment. It’s these things that we used donations for to help her stay strong until the Lord cures her or medical researchers find a way to cure SMA.

A wheelchair lift that will allow Ava to get upstairs to her bedroom when she gets bigger. The Trust T Lift is a typical example. Price: $12,000-$15,000 for equipment (installation and home modification unknown). |

This is a hi-low adjustable bed. It raises and lowers and would allow us to get Ava into and out of a wheelchair. It also raises the head and legs, depending on how Ava might want to be sitting in her bed. About $4000. |

Randy,
I was an agent with your dad in 1981. Then I went into management in 1982 and in 1993, I became his manager. I have known your mom and dad for many years. When you and Kevin were young, we went to a Mardi Gras parade in New Roads with your family.
I would like to send you some money to help with your expenses for Ava. Could you email me and tell me what would be the best way to do that. I want to make sure it gets to you for Ava’s use. If you will just drop me an email on what would be best, I’ll send you a check or put it on a credit card or whatever.
I’ll be waiting to get a reply from you. That baby girl is precious. I can see why your mom and dad are so proud of her.
Sincerely,
Roy Courville

Hi My name is Madeleine Clements and I came across your website one day while searching the internet for something random.I am 13 years old. Anyway so I wanted to donate $80 to Ava. I dont want you guys to spend this money on medical things, but you should spend it on doing something fun. LIke maybe going to the movies, shopping, or going out for dinner. But, if you really wanted to spend it on like medical stuff than go ahead but it probably isn’t enough. I wanted to donate about $80. Please email me back as soon as you can because I really want you guys to get the money. (I will mail it to you)
Thanks & God bless you all,
