Meet Chrissy and her amazing son, Nathaniel. Nathaniel is a bright, resilient young boy living with muscular dystrophy and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). His smile lights up every room, but day-to-day life comes with challenges that most of us can hardly imagine.
Chrissy is a single mom who works full-time to provide for Nathaniel completely on her own, without any support from his father. She does it all — juggling work, doctor appointments, therapies, and the countless needs of caring for a child with complex medical challenges. She rarely has a moment for herself, but she never stops fighting to give her son the best life possible.
One of the biggest struggles right now is transportation. Nathaniel uses a wheelchair, and Chrissy’s current vehicle doesn’t meet his needs. Every trip to school, therapy, or a doctor’s appointment is physically exhausting, time-consuming, and unsafe without proper accommodations. What they desperately need is a handicap-accessible vehicle with a wheelchair ramp.
Unfortunately, on her own, Chrissy simply can’t afford such a large expense. Despite working hard, making ends meet is already a daily battle. That’s where we’re hoping this community can come together to make a real difference.
With your help, we can ease some of Chrissy’s burden and give Nathaniel the safe, accessible transportation he deserves. Your donation will go directly toward the purchase of a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, giving this amazing mother and son the freedom and security they need.
No amount is too small — every dollar truly helps bring them one step closer to this goal. If you can’t give, please consider sharing this fundraiser so others can.
Let’s show Chrissy and Nathaniel that they’re not alone, and help lift some of the weight she carries every single day. Together, we can give them the gift of mobility, safety, and hope.
