APPLETON, Wis. (WBAY) – 14-year-old Jerika Bolen, an Appleton girl whose decision to have a prom before she died, passed away in hospice care — ending a lifelong battle with a painful and incurable disease.
Jerika suffered from Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type II, or SMA. She told us in July she was in a wheelchair as long as she can remember. She was unable to move most of her body, with the exception of her hand and parts of her face.
And she wanted to stop using the ventilator that helped her breathe.
