Showing up for Dante
Donation protected
Hi, we're the Dimoski's. D and I have had the privilege of having Desiree and Angelo in our lives for just about 10 years. We have seen each other through many stages of life- from working together, to getting married to now having families of our own.
We met Dante when he was just a baby- his bright blue eyes and contagious smile stole our hearts the minute we saw him.
D and I didn't know anything about Dante's condition but with the millions of questions asked we started to understand the severity of it.
To put briefly, Dante has a rare condition named 5q14.3 deletion syndrome. He faces sever hypotonia (low muscle tone) leaving him not able to sit up or walk independently. With these challenges he requires a variety of different medical equipment and extensive therapies not fully covered by OHIP or private insurance.
All donations made are going towards current and future equipment and therapies such as:
Equipment
- Trexo Robotics- "Trexo gives children with mobility challenges the opportunity to get much needed exercise and movement, to support their overall health and wellness."
- Stander- Stabilizes the joint and provides optimum loading for early hip joint development
- Indoor/Outdoor Wheelchair
- Adaptive Bike
- Child Size Stroller
Therapies
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Speech/language pathology
- Chiropractic
As Dante grows older he will require larger equipment to fit his growing body.
Our first ever fundraiser is taking place on Sunday August 11, 2024 at Mackenzie Glen Park in Maple. Due to park rules- we are not able to accept donations at the park- all donations are to be made using this GoFundMe page.
Thank you for your understanding.
