About Breanna...

Except for her wheelchair, at first glance, the smiling, delightful Breanna seems like any other child her age...until you see how rigid and contorted her body can be. At three months, Breanna’s parents noticed that she was unable to do the basic things that most babies can do, like grabbing objects.

When she failed to reach other milestones, her parents went from one specialist to another seeking answers until the devastating news came: Dystonia.

Breanna is now six-years-old and in the first grade, in a traditional classroom setting with a para-professional assisting her. While other children her age are running and playing, she still cannot crawl, walk, roll over or “play.” Even grasping a toy is nearly impossible...plus her speech is affected, often making it difficult to understand her. And even though she is in pain a great deal of the time, Breanna is a happy child, beautiful, exceptionally bright, and brings great joy to everyone who meets her.

As soon as On Perfect Wings was finished at Nashville’s Arctic Sound Recording Studios, Breanna’s step-grandmother Nancy Vogl, who is one of the songwriters, sent it to Breanna for her approval. Upon hearing her special song she lit up saying, in her delicate and in an unusually clear voice,“I really love my song!” - to which the songwriters all promptly burst into tears! This is the perfect song for a perfect angel.
