Brandon is a 8-year-old boy from Riverside RI; he has been clinically diagnosed with CMT, a neuromuscular disorder. Brandon walked until the age of 2 when he lost mobility from the flu. From 2005 through 2007 Brandon’s family took him to chiropractors and neurologists in Boston, Providence and Detroit to figure out exactly why he lost his mobility and what was causing his problem. The winters of 2005 and 2006, Brandon had a several stays at Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, RI for pneumonia. The winter of 07’ was the most challenging. Brandon spent 10 weeks in the ICU unit of Hasbro Children’s Hospital and under went a life saving surgery where he received a tracheotomy and placed on a breathing vent. Since being home from the hospital Brandon continues to have numerous doctor’s appointments and needs continuous care.
Brandon is now in the 1st grade. His health is improving but he still relies on a wheelchair to get around. Brandon’s family is trying to make his life as normal as possible for a 8-year-old boy. They built a temporary ramp in the front of his house. It was a big milestone for Brandon to enter his home on his own. He had the biggest smile on his face. Brandon’s family needs to make major renovations to their home so he can move around freely in his wheelchair and a bathroom that is handicap accessible. They also need to purchase a handicap accessible van so Brandon can be independent outside of his home.
Please help Brandon’s family afford the necessary changes to make his and his family’s life a little easier. Thank you for visiting our website….
