SPECIAL NEEDS STROLLER STOLEN
Hello
My 8yr old grandson, of whom I have custody, has Autism and today he is so upset. Just totally heartbroken. His special needs stroller was stolen off our front porch. He relies on his stroller when going out in public. He's able to handle being around people, noises etc because of his stroller. He can lay back and feel safe..and when things get to be too much for him, I can throw a blanket over the hood and keep the world out for him.
Life can be difficult for him and having a stroller that fits him, helps make life a bit more enjoyable. He loves going places and seeing things, but with that, comes the overwhelming chaos of noises, lights, people, what have you. Without the comfort of his stroller allowing him to get away from it all when everything becomes too much, outings will be very few
I was lucky to find that stroller.....used, but in good condition and for a price I can afford. Theses types of strollers don't come available very often used.
This isn't a regular stroller. He weighs about 41kg (91lbs) ... regular strollers aren't able to hold that weight, nor accommodate his height.
New, special needs strollers are around $3500. I have no way of coming up with that right now.
I'm so sad for him. He keeps asking me to go get it back...or to get the police to get it for him.
Please help purchase a new stroller for Xavier. He would be over the moon knowing that there are kind people willing to help.
Any amount will help
Xavier and I thank you
