Lili’s story as told by her mother, Lori…

Meet Lili—a brave young girl navigating a complex medical journey. Her story, shared through her mom's voice, Lori, is a powerful reminder of how community and connection can genuinely change lives.

After exploratory surgery, multiple MRIs, and three-second opinions, answers still felt out of reach. Then, everything changed through the miracle of a single social media post in a Facebook group of over 300,000 parents.

Friend of CTR, Missy Callero saw Lori’s post and reached out—and that connection led her to CTR.

Watch the video to hear how one online connection opened the door to personalized guidance, support, and hope when it mattered most.
