Leonardo's Therapy Tricycle
Donation protected
I am raising funds to buy a therapy tricycle for my 9 year old godson Leonardo Zen. Leonardo is a little miracle boy. He was born at 26 weeks of pregnancy and is a surviving twin after his brother, Lucas sadly passed away at just 5 weeks old. Despite the many issues associated with his severe prematurity he spent a whopping 6 months in the neonatal unit and set a record in the unit for remaining on oxygen.
Leonardo has always surpassed expectations and remained a mystery to the many doctors and therapists he has seen over the years due to how advanced his brain appears to be associated with so many physical difficulties. At 2 years old he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy but he is one of the most complex cases these professionals have seen. His case is difficult to treat as he has both dystonia and spasticity. This makes his therapy very complex. He uses a wheelchair but is able to crawl at home to get around.
I am fundraising because Leonardo's therapists have recommended this therapy tricycle to help to strengthen his legs and core and to try to improve his mobility and independence.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Leonardo's family is so deserving of this after some very difficult years. Any help is greatly appreciated.
