HELP AYDEN BRADY'S FAMILY GET A HANDICAP VAN!

THE BRADYS NEED A HANDICAP-ACCESIBLE. YOU CAN BE AN ANGEL FOR AYDEN!

Knowing the Brady family means loving and being inspired by them. Juan, Vanessa, Dave (19), Ayden (17), and Ashton (14) are beautiful human beings. Their unwavering commitment and affection for each other are palpable and a testament to their resilience.

Originally from Venezuela, Juan immigrated to the United States for a better life and has not stopped hustling. Juan and Vanessa work seven days a week growing their business and passion project, Vibrant Sauces, a line of delicious Vegan sauces. Juan is also still working full-time at Ipp's Pastaria in Woodstock. He has worked for the Ippolitto family in some capacity for over twenty years. Any patron or staff member of Ipp's will tell you that Juan is a ray of positivity and light.

When Brady's middle son Ayden was born, he was progressing normally until he was five months old when he began to have seizures; he then spent a month and a half at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta due to respiratory failure and seizure disorders. Eventually, through medications, he was stabilized. Today, Ayden is non-verbal and completely incapacitated. Still, he has a killer smile that lights up any room and can show his emotions- something the doctors said he would never do.

With family and friends, the Bradys handle Ayden's 24/7 care daily. Juan and Vanessa refer to Ayden as their angel; they say he teaches them the true beauty of life and unconditional love.

ON AVERAGE IT TAKES $250,000 TO RAISE A CHILD FROM BIRTH TO 18. IT TAKES TEN TIMES THAT $1,4-2.5 MILLION TO RAISE A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD

Until now, Juan has lifted Ayden into the car if they were going to go out. Lifting Ayden, now a man, is no longer safe for either Ayden or Juan. Vanessa's lack of mobility leaves her homebound during her long caregiving days. The family has not been able to go out together in years.

The Brady family could use our support as their community to help them buy a handicapped van. Handicapped vehicles are costly, as the conversion is often as expensive as the vehicle.

LET'S GET THE BRADY BUNCH ROLLING!

Please Donate; even small donations help. This is a worthy cause for a deserving family.

Many thanks,

Friends of the Bradys
