Help Ashton Walk
Donation protected
Ashton was born with a very rare condition called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita. AMC is 1 in 3000 and is considered a condition that involves joint contractures where they did not form properly and have limited motion. Ashton was premature and did not move his legs at all, he is affected in his feet, knees, hips & wrists. He also has club feet which is common with AMC. So far Ashton has had 6 set of casts and 1 surgery which was a Achilles Tenotomy, he started off wearing Boots n Bar and is now wearing AFOs & wrists splints. Ashton is almost 1 and does not bear weight on his legs/feet, stand, crawl or walk. Unfortunately, when Ashton hits a growth spurt he goes through regression causing his legs to go back to how they were when he was born. Chris (Ashton’s dad) works very hard to support us and I am not working at the moment to stay home and take care of Ashton and get him to all of his weekly appointments. I am asking for help to get Ashton to the Paley Institute in Florida to see Dr. Feldman which is the best doctor who specializes in AMC. We are staying there from April 7th - May 9th to go through serial casting again to gain range of motion and exclusive PT/OT. Anything helps and all donations will be used for medical bills, lodging, transportation & food. Thank you and God Bless!
