Meet Billy!
Meet seventeen-year-old Billy! Billy is an amazing young man with a big personality and a love for rock ’n’ roll music. At just five years old, Billy was diagnosed with Landau-Kleffner Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that can cause the loss of language abilities and may be accompanied by seizures and behavioral changes.
Billy loves listening to rock ’n’ roll, with Metallica as his favorite band and “Fuel” as his favorite song. He enjoys watching Stranger Things and Godzilla, playing video games, and building Legos. He is also a big football fan who loves watching the Kansas City Chiefs. And when it comes to food, nothing beats his favorite: French fries from McDonald’s!
Thanks to generous sponsorship, Billy received a posterior walker that provides him with greater stability and safety while walking. This assistive device will help improve his endurance, reduce fatigue, and promote greater independence in his daily activities. This meaningful gift will make a lasting difference in Billy’s life by helping him stay mobile, active, and engaged in the activities he loves.
