He works for ‘Kids Making It’ two days a week and is participating in a program called Essentials at CFCC to earn his GED!!
Meet Bridget!
Bridget requires 24-hour care and experiences significant difficulty with sleeping. Reorganizing the spaces within her home to accommodate a nighttime caregiver could greatly benefit her overall well-being and improve her quality of sleep.
Meet Leathan!
Leathan is a 7-year-old diagnosed with Level 2 Autism and frontal lobe damage. His Pica—a condition where he ingests non-food items—along with a tendency to wander, means he requires constant supervision. Leathan loves the color orange and thrives on attention. He has a passion for reading and a budding interest in Nintendo games.
Matias’ Project Is Complete!
Matias is an 18-year-old with multiple diagnoses, including a rare genetic disorder known as "Ring 14," which causes significant gross motor, fine motor, and speech delays, along with seizures, scoliosis, hypotonia, and feeding difficulties. He requires support for all activities of daily living (ADLs) to ensure his safety and well-being. Matias can independently move by crawling on the floor and is able to transition to a standing position, though this is becoming increasingly challenging as he grows older.
Meet Sawyer!
Sawyer was born with Spina Bifida and is paralyzed from the waist down. He uses a Frog Mobility Device, a skateboard-like tool that allows him to move around the house, but it only gives him access to the floor level. For anything beyond that, he needs to be carried or held. Sawyer loves cooking with his dad, playing the keyboard to entertain, and spending time in his ball pit.
