Meet Derek!
Derek is an old soul in a twelve-year-old’s body, who loves music, reading, and cooking. Derek was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at birth. Despite the complications that come with his diagnosis, he remains loving and compassionate to everyone who has the pleasure of knowing him.
Derek’s favorite color is blue, and he loves watching the Mario and Sonic movies. His favorite thing to read currently is manga anime, and he enjoys listening to music, specifically the song Calm Down by Rema and Selena Gomez. He loves going to arcades to play video games and visiting his family in Puerto Rico. He is really passionate about cooking and baking, continuing to learn new skills in his favorite class, Culinary.
Derek needs an adaptive tricycle that is physically adequate for him to ride in order to allow him to exercise and join in family bike rides. Your sponsorship can make an influence on Derek’s ability to participate in school, at home, and in the community, providing much-needed exercise and independence.
