Meet 17-year-old Josiah, who was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at the age of 9. While he relies on his family for most of his daily care, Josiah’s spirit is full of energy, imagination, and a little mischief.
He has many passions. Josiah is a huge fan of music—whether he’s listening to Drake or attending a concert. He also enjoys his favorite TV show, Young Sheldon, and shines in his science classes. In his free time, you’ll find him watching baseball, reading graphic novels, and keeping everyone around him laughing with his fun and outgoing personality. Josiah truly inspires those who know him and makes the world a brighter place.
Josiah now needs a Hoyer Lift. This essential piece of equipment will provide a safe and gentle way to help him transfer from place to place—such as from his bed to his wheelchair—without the physical strain of lifting. It will give Josiah comfort and security, while giving his family peace of mind knowing every transfer can be done safely and with ease.
Will you be the sponsor who helps give Josiah this life-changing gift?
