Help Jonny Get Around!
Donation protected
Hi, My name is Shannon Boucher and I'm fundraising for Jonny. Jonny is a 10 year old boy who loves jokes, trains, lego, and Minecraft. In 2019 he was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Duchenne is a fatal muscle wasting disorder that currently has no cure, https://www.mda.org/disease/duchenne-muscular-dystrophy. In March, Jonny started using a power chair to help with mobility, as he fell in January and lost the ability to walk, and he no longer has the arm strength to continue using his manual wheelchair independently. Unfortunately with the decline in muscle strength he needs an accessible bathroom modification in his home, and an accessible vehicle to travel to CHEO appointments and to visit with friends and shop within the community. Currently, Jonny’s mom needs to carry him to the washroom, and when traveling, lift him into their car, and then put his manual wheelchair in the trunk. His family can receive funding for some of the cost but the majority of the funds needed must come from his family.
Please help reach our goal so Jonny and his family can safely "Help Jonny Get Around!"
