Meet Josiah!

 

 

 

Meet Jovial Josiah! This playful 5-year-old was born prematurely and diagnosed at birth with periventricular leukomalacia and had to spend 2.5 months in the NICU. He also has a seizure disorder and cerebral palsy, presenting with left side weakness in his lower extremities. He can crawl and pull himself up but is unable to walk without assistance.

 

Josiah is a bubbly little boy who likes to make others laugh. He enjoys playing with his siblings and watching his favorite TV shows, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Cocomelon. He enjoys the movie, The Princess and the Frog, and Disney/Pixar’s Cars and his favorite characters are Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater. Josiah is described as easy-going and laid-back. He goes with the flow and prefers calm atmospheres.

 

Josiah needs a new manual wheelchair. He is currently using a donated chair that is both too old and too small and doesn’t properly fit his needs. He requires a wheelchair for transportation and for school. Please consider being Josiah’s sponsor!
