Transportation for Tyson
Donation protected
 
This is my son Tyson, he is a 3 1/2 yr old boy, whom at birth suffered from a stroke which then caused a blood clot on the brain (basilar artery to be exact), we were then told that Tyson may not survive and to be prepared for his passing as his brain had been starved of oxygen for some time, As you could imagine the news shook our family pretty heavily which lead to a major break down in the family home leaving myself to care for not only Tyson and his high care needs but also his 4 older sisters, but regardless of what was going on behind the scenes i continued doing what needed to be done for my family the best i could with very little to no support...Fortunately for us, Tyson fought hard and is still with us today and im happy to say he is thriving at everything the best he can. 
 Due to the stroke Tyson has been diagnosed with severe cerebral palsy, spastic and dyskinetic quadriplegia, global development delay, left sided hearing loss (wears hearing aid right side) cerebral vision impairment, gross and fine motor skill delay, aspiration risk and scoliosis risk, Tyson is non verbal and wheelchair bound.  Every day tasks are difficult for our family and now our current car is on its last legs which i cannot afford to fix nor hve modifications done to give my son the proper access into the vehicle, without having to physically lift him in and out of his wheelchair and into the car putting extra strain on my back and shoulders. So with that being said we are in need of a vehicle that is newer and eligible for funding to hve modifications done for wheelchair access which would make life a little less stressful. We have numerous appnts every week from hospital to therapy sessions and this year Tyson will be starting kindy, so we're hoping to raise enough funds to put towards a new car so that i can get him to all his appnts, school and those special family outings without any stress and worry.
Any donation whether it be big or small or even just sharing this post will be greatly appreciated by our family and as Tyson's mum I'd like to thank you all so much for reading his short story.
