No Limits For Liam
Liam is a 7 year old boy with severe athetoid spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. Liam is currently unable to walk, but thanks to a non-invasive surgical procedure offered in the USA (SPML), Liam's quality of life can be improved and he can be given the ability to learn to walk. Liam is also at high risk of developing painful muscle contractures and hip dysplasia which can be prevented with this surgery.
Unfortunately, this procedure is not funded by the government and will cost $18,000 USD. Liam works hard everyday to further his abilities and has already surpassed doctor expectations thanks to many hours of intensive therapy, also not funded by the government. Liam wants to walk like his friends but he cannot learn this skill without this medical intervention. Without SPML, as Liam ages and grows, his muscles become tighter making it painful for him and increasing his risk for scoliosis and for his hips to dislocate. Please help give Liam a chance to improve his quality of life.
