Buddy's Christmas Blessing
Donation protected
Tera was 18 when she was blessed with a beautiful baby boy Buddy. Buddy was diagnosed with Down Syndrome at birth. He lived a pretty normal childhood, but at the age of 10, he had a tumor at the rear of his brain. While being life-flighted for the tumor, he suffered a stroke that would change their lives forever. . The stroke impaired his ability to walk for several years, but now he can walk assisted. It also impaired his speech, so only the family can understand some of what he says. He also has some other issues the doctors have been unable to pinpoint here recently. So he is always in and out of the hospital. Despite his obstacles, he is still the happiest and most loving person I know. Buddy is always in good spirits and smiling. My aunt has given her whole life to her son. As a single mom, she has never been able to work or go to school. Of course, she wouldn't have done it any other way, but it does put them in a financial bind, with the only income being SSI. Tera and Buddy go out to different stores daily so he can walk, assisted with a grocery cart. This is his daily exercise and gives them a change. Tera's current vehicle has been having issues and is older, so we are hoping to raise some money for her to get a newer and reliable vehicle.
She isn't one to ask for anything and just gets by with what they have. I would love for them to have an amazing Christmas and be blessed by your support.
