Camron Hicks was diagnosed with cerebral spinal ataxia with tremors and has been battling this since the age of 7.  He has the one of the most rare forms of this condition.  This impacts him significantly each day at home and at school.  His ability to walk has been negatively impacted and his tremors have caused him to lose his balance and fall.  Due to the progression of this condition, he has begun using a wheelchair.  An electric chair is going to be built for him as soon as his house can allow for the chair to be used.  This requires a ramp, repairs and construction to the front porch to allow for a chair, and it requires a wheelchair lift for the family SUV.  All of these must be in place before approval will even be considered in order for the chair to be built.  A lift for a car costs $5000 and to allow for the necessary construction needed for the porch we are asking for $2000 additional dollars to off-set the cost.  We have a local group who is willing to help with the actual construction, we just need to make sure we have funds for the supplies needed.  We would like to have this project funded as soon as possible and definitely before the nest school year begins.

UPDATE:  Camron has his new chair and has started the school year using it.  He does rely on a wheelchair all the time now, but he cannot take this one home since he still does not have the lift for the car.  Once we finish this effort, he will be able to be even more mobile at school and at home.
