Help Steve Regain His Mobility and Independence

We’re reaching out for help on behalf of Steve, a kind-hearted, brave young boy who faces each day with strength and resilience. Steve lives with a prosthetic leg, and although he meets every challenge with a smile, he’s now in urgent need of specialized care that only Shriners Hospital for Children in Chicago can provide. On June 26th, 2025, Steve, his mom, and his sibling will be traveling from Michigan to Chicago for a crucial appointment. This trip is not just a routine check-up—it’s a series of medical evaluations, fittings, and adjustments needed to ensure Steve can receive the most comfortable, high-functioning prosthetic leg possible. This could dramatically improve his mobility, independence, and quality of life. Steve’s family lives on a very fixed income, and covering the costs of this trip is simply beyond their means. We’re asking for $1,360 to help cover: • Transportation to and from Chicago • Lodging for the family during the stay • Food and basic travel necessities Every dollar raised will go directly toward making sure Steve gets the care he needs—and deserves. If you’re able to give, we’re so grateful. And if you’re not in a position to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, and community. Thank you for supporting Steve and helping him take the next step forward—literally. With love and gratitude, Steve’s Family
