C.T.'s Truck Fundraiser

In December the Neely family was approached by family friend, Fran Hemphill. She asked if she could do a fund raiser for C.T. to buy him a truck with a wheel chair lift. We gladly accepted.  We began planning in January. The first funderaiser was a drawing. Now we are planning a dinner and concert fundraiser. Thank you everybody who support the first fundraiser. 

C.T. became paralyzed while being treated for leukemia. C.T. was 17 years old and a senior in high school when on December 25, 2010 he was diagnosed with leukemia. He spent one year in Oakland Children's Hospital. He was able to come home in a wheel chair and recieve his high school diploma at graduation. 

After he was released from the hospital in Oakland, he came home very weak. He was then in and out of Renown Hospital in Reno. Just C.T. was starting to get healthy his dad, Bill was diagnosed with cancer and had to retire from work. On October 9,2015 the cancer took Bill's life. that left only his mother, Cari to take C.T. to his classes at Lassen Community College. Cari comes home from her job at noon and assists C.T. getting into and out of his current vehicle at the college. She picks him up after work and after dinner takes him back for his evening class at the college. 

This family has been fight cancer for the past six years and they need our help to be able to purchase a truck with a wheelchair lift. This will be life changing for C.T. he will be able to get into and out of a vehicle by himself. He will be able to get a job or go to school full time.
