In 2015 she was adopted into her family In Minnesota. After 3 surgeries here she chose to have her leg amputated so she could do the things she was never able to experience.

She has joined a track and field team and is getting ready for the Dairyland Games in Wisconsin. Marcela works out at the gym 5 days a week in the morning before school.
