7 year old Henry, prisoner of his own home.
Donation protected
Hello, my names Megan Morris and I’m the cousin of Henry. Henry is a 7-year-old boy from Sapulpa, OK with SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) Henry was diagnosed at 13 months old and was told he would likely not live past 2 years old. He has beat those odds with the help of SPINRAZA injections which help with his muscles. Henry cannot walk, roll over or sit up by himself. Henry doesn't get to attend public schools as they don't have the staff needed to help with him. Henry has been bedridden his whole life and never got to experience the real world. His grandmother Rachel Williams has guardianship of him and his cousin Luke. Lukes's mother passed away 2 years ago, and Rachel had to quit her employer that she had been with for 15+ years to care for them both. Henry is approved for a in home nurse, but they have had trouble finding one. Henry has gotten too big for any one person to lift him, which has made it more difficult to get him out of the house as the only way that is possible is with a vehicle equipped for a wheelchair. Rachel recently had her only form of transportation completely totaled so therefore she has no way to leave the house at all which has made Luke and Rachel as well as Henry all prisoners of their own home. I am trying to raise enough funds to get them a handicap accessible van so they can all enjoy life. Henry is 7 years old and has never been to McDonalds, a grocery store, or even a park. All the things we take for granted. If you cannot donate, please share, as they deserve to see the world.
