Shoe Drive Set Up for Navarre Girl who needs Special Bed

Navarre, FL (Newsradio 92.3) -- Lilliana Boczar, an 11-year-old girl from Navarre, is raising funds for a specialized bed to accommodate her unique needs, as she is the only person known to have both Williams Syndrome and Rett Syndrome. These conditions have led to significant developmental challenges for Lilliana, including the loss of motor skills and difficulty in daily functions.

"She was three years old when she started regressing," Lillian's mother Mari Boczar told Channel 3.

Despite being mobile with some support, Lilliana cannot use a standard hospital bed safely. Her family has sought a "Cubby Bed" with safety features, but insurance claims have been denied three times. In response, her church organized a sneaker collection fundraiser, which has raised $1,800 so far.

If you'd like to donate, here's a list of local collection points:

• Legacy Fitness at 6323 Denver Ave. in Pensacola

• The Happy Spot at 1734 Creighton Rd. in Pensacola

• A&R Custom Tinting
