Meet Eitan!
Eitan is a sweet and resilient 9-year-old who brings so much joy to his family each day. Though he functions at an infant cognitive level and is nonverbal, Eitan communicates through his expressions, laughter, and the way he responds to the people and world around him. Described as great, marvelous, and precious, he works hard every day to learn and experience new things, showing strength and determination through every challenge.
Eitan loves bright, colorful cartoons and especially enjoys the movie Trolls. Music plays a big role in his life—he enjoys all types, and classical music during his school time helps him relax. One of his favorite things is movement, especially when visiting the park where he can safely enjoy a special swing. At home, some of his happiest moments are spent with his family—whether they’re pushing him in his wheelchair down the hallway or making him laugh with tickles.
Diagnosed with Lissencephaly at just 4 months old after experiencing frequent seizures, Eitan is 100% dependent on others for all activities of daily living. Despite these challenges, he continues to inspire those around him with his strength and spirit. Eitan is in need of a specialized wheelchair to support his mobility and allow him to safely enjoy more of the world around him.
