Justin’s Life-Changing Wheelchair Ramp
At 17 years old, Justin’s life has been transformed in the most wonderful way. Living with cerebral palsy, Justin faced daily challenges that many of us take for granted. But thanks to the incredible generosity of donors and the efforts of the RunWalkBark4Dreams event, Justin’s dream of having a wheelchair ramp at home has come true.
Thank you from Justin’s Family
Justin’s mom shared her deep gratitude, saying, “The wheelchair ramp at home has truly transformed my son’s life. The ramp has given him a newfound sense of independence, making it so much easier for him to enter and exit our home safely and confidently. We are no longer met with the challenges of navigating steps that once made everyday outings feel daunting. Now, he can actively participate in visiting friends and attending family outings without unnecessary barriers. This simple addition has brought immeasurable joy and freedom to our family, and I cannot thank you enough for the positive impact it has made in our lives.”
Justin’s Diagnosis
Justin has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder that appears in infancy or early childhood and permanently affects body movement and muscle coordination.
