Help Raise money to get Garnett an Adapted Trike!!
Donation protected
For those of you who have had the pleasure of meeting this incredible little boy know how bright a light he is in this world.
Garnett is nothing short of a miracle being born at 23 weeks as a surprise to Sandy and Sandy. He has beat all the odds and is a thriving 6 year old with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy as well as hydrocephalus.
In October Sandy and Sandy found out that Garnett would need reconstructive surgery on both of his hips. This is a major surgery in which both of his femurs will be cut and then plates put in and muscle extensions in both front and back of each leg. The surgery will be in London at LHSC and they will be staying in Hospital for minimum of one week initially and then all follow ups will be here as well. Garnett will be in a full double leg cast for roughly 8 weeks with another excruciating 6 plus weeks recovering after the casts are removed. As he is recovering he will be retraining his legs from the past 5 years of Physio, and then once fully healed will work on walking again.
Sandy will be taking some time off work and we wanted to help them out with some of their expenses while they are recovering.
They are working closely with Kidsability to ensure they are set up for recovery at home but there is always unforeseen medical expenses that pop up as well as equipment and furniture that might be needed.
If you are able to please donate what you can to help this wonderful family through an extremely tough recovery.
Thank you all for your support.
