The poignant and beautiful song "On Perfect Wings," created especially for Breanna, but intended to honor anyone who is wheelchair-bound, was written by songwriters Jamie Southworth, Carrie Baird, and Breanna's step-grandmother, Nancy Vogl. "On Perfect Wings" is performed by the talented Jamie Southworth.
Influences
Breanna is influenced by the simplest, and yet some of the most profound joys in life. She loves going to first-grade and being a Brownie Scout. She loves to color and listen to Disney tunes and watch other children play. She loves her baby sister, Peyton! Breanna delights in butterflies and flowers and Cinderella and the color purple. She loves chicken nuggets and mashed potatoes and pizza. And, even though she is in pain a great deal of the time, she smiles...with the heart of an angel. Her "wings" are perfect.
Imagine yourself as a child running, dancing with the wind, perhaps flopping down in a big snow pile, being able to move as freely as your spirit guides you. JUST IMAGINE. For that is exactly how Breanna plays...in her very own “dream land,” playing, running, and dancing in her mind. Now imagine what it is like to have a disabled child in a home that IS NOT handicapped accessible, with the bedrooms and bath up a steep flight of stairs.
Breanna has an affliction few have ever heard of, a severe case of DYSTONIA that leaves the majority of her body rigid and contorted. She has never been able to roll over, sit up, or walk, and holding a toy is nearly impossible. Even her speech is affected.
With mounting medical bills, the financial burdens are great for Breanna’s family...and there are no funds to create the proper environment for this precious child.
YET YOU CAN HELP! Listen to the beautiful song,“On Perfect Wings,” written especially for Breanna. Download it for $1.99 and help us raise enough money to build a first-floor bedroom and bathroom for Breanna...as well as provide much-needed therapy equipment. One hundred percent of your pennies (less the Snocap fees) will go directly towards building a bedroom wing for Breanna and her family, as well as provide some additional funds (once we've reached the dollars needed to build the bedrooms) to the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation. Your generosity and love is graciously and gratefully received.
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE SONG HERE on Breanna's MySpace page...or, please go to her official website, www.RoomForBreanna.com, to download the song and for more information about this project and about Breanna.
IF YOU WISH TO CONTRIBUTE BY MAIL: You can send a donation (any amount will be gratefully received) made out to: A Room For Breanna, c/o Nancy Vogl, 526 W. 14th Street, 185, Traverse City, MI 49684.
YOU CAN ALSO HELP THIS LITTLE ANGEL BY TELLING OTHERS! Please point everyone you know to this MySpace page and/or to Breanna's website. Thank you so very much!
PLEASE NOTE: We realize the price for the song, at $1.99, is higher than most other songs sold on MySpace, but .39 cents is taken off the top by Snocap for servicing fees, and we need to raise thousands and thousands of dollars for the Breanna project. We hope your heart will be moved to "donate" and "download." Also, if you wish to give even more, please visit www.RoomForBreanna.com.
With love and gratitude, from Breanna and her friends and family!
"This poem is very sweet. It will be interesting to see who sends it back.
If I could catch a rainbow I would do it just for you and share with you its beauty On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain You could call your very own A place to find serenity, A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles I would toss them in the sea, But all these things I'm finding are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain Or catch a rainbow fair, But let me be what I know best, A friend who's always there.
This is a Hug Certificate!!
Send One to All Your Friends Who You Think Deserve A Hug (Which Hopefully Includes the Person Who Sent It to You).

Breanna, I love you and hope things will improve for you. You are such a brave girl! Are you planning a mountain climbing expedition? I was invited too. If I win the lottery perhaps we'll meet on the mountain!! LOL. No really... I mean it. Love ya and God Bless You, Sean
try to catch up with me sometime soon so we can start to plan something. I've done a little bit of thinking but got derailed in wrapping up some of my expedition things for 2008.
If we keep pushing each other on this I know we can make something happen!
