Four-year-old Isabella Miller lost her identical twin sister when they were both about six months old from complications due to premature birth.
"She has a mild case of cerebral palsy, but is happy, healthy. "And she's just amazing and she's my life," said Isabella's mom, Tracey Miller.
While Isabella's prognosis is good, there are many surgeries to come and developmental hurdles to face.
"We're learning to walk with her with her walker, also to be able to function with her left hand to be able to grasp and hold on things. And her speech is coming around, starting to do a little bit of talking," Miller said.
After hearing about Isabella's case, the nonprofit "A Wish Come True" stepped in.
Swansea Play Systems provided a playground and M&L Landscaping pitched in with the area around the playground.
"She'll have a lot of activities. There's a lot to do on it," said Jerry Boie of Swansea Play Systems.
"Everybody would if they could help somebody out in any way they can. This is something that I could do, so I chose to do it," said Mike Underwood of M&L Landscaping.
The playground and all the assorted parts with it will be more than just fun for Isabella. It will be her therapy too.
"For her friends to come here and to play with her perhaps that will help her with her social skills," said Beverly Mollis of A Wish Come True. "She wants to be able to do things everybody else is doing and she can't. So I think this will help her you know that confidence to want to do it like everybody else."
