Good wheels for Nunu

Hi, everyone! I would like to introduce you to Nunu. Nunu is a 16-year-old kid that enjoys doing things in life like any other child, from fishing to prom to video games and just being a kid all the way around. Nunu unfortunately doesn’t get the chance to enjoy a few other things or even some things that are needed due to his condition called muscular dystrophy. For those of you that don’t know, muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass.

In muscular dystrophies, abnormal genes (mutations) lead to muscle degeneration. Most forms begin in childhood.

Damaged muscles become progressively weaker. Most people who have the condition eventually need a wheelchair. Other symptoms include trouble breathing or swallowing.

Medications, therapy, breathing aids, or surgery may help maintain function, but life span is often shortened.

Thanks to his grandmother, Mrs. Beasley, she has done her best since he was born to take care of him and give him the proper things needed to continue to give Nunu the most normal life he can have as a kid. But like most of us in this world, we sometimes need help. Which is why I’m starting this GoFundMe for them to raise money to help get Nunu a proper working wheelchair and also a van to help get him around for his doctor’s appointments and therapy since they are now without a vehicle. So I’m hoping we can come together and make this happen for them to help give a small push to keep going and to know that he is loved and the sky can be the limit for us all if we pull together. Any donations will be appreciated whether it’s monetary or other resources. Thanks in advance, guys. Now let’s help thy neighbor and show some love and support!
