Donation protected
Meet Eric Tellefsen, a remarkable 51-year-old man whose resilient spirit and unwavering positivity have touched the hearts of everyone he encounters. Born with severe Cerebral Palsy, Eric has faced numerous challenges throughout his life, including undergoing multiple surgeries and living in a wheelchair. Despite these obstacles, Eric radiates kindness, warmth, and joy, always sporting a beautiful smile that lights up the room.
Currently residing in a group home and actively participating in a day program at the United Cerebral Palsy center, Eric's indomitable spirit continues to inspire those around him. One of Eric's greatest dreams is to experience the thrill and excitement of witnessing gymnastics at the 2024 Summer Olympics in France.
We are reaching out to you, our community, to help make Eric's dream a reality. Your generous contributions will go towards covering the expenses associated with travel, accommodations, and accessibility needs to ensure Eric can experience the magic of the Olympic Games firsthand.

Let's come together to rally behind Eric, a truly exceptional individual whose resilience, positivity, and unwavering spirit deserve to be celebrated. Your support will not only make a lifelong dream come true for Eric but also serve as a powerful testament to the difference we can make when we come together to support one another.
Join us in fulfilling Eric's dream and creating lasting memories that will inspire and uplift him for years to come. Together, we can show Eric that his dreams are within reach and that with a community of caring individuals by his side, anything is possible. Thank you for your support and for helping Eric embark on this extraordinary journey to the 2024 Summer Olympics in France!
