Meet 13-year-old Antonio, a sweet and loving young man diagnosed with Spastic Quadriplegia Cerebral Palsy. Antonio is unable to walk and relies entirely on a wheelchair for mobility and his family for daily care.
Despite his challenges, Antonio finds joy in the little things. He is a huge fan of all things Mickey Mouse and loves watching Disney favorites like Raya and Encanto. He especially enjoys Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, which never fails to bring a smile to his face. Antonio also loves being read to and is particularly drawn to sensory books that light up, make sounds, and offer different textures to explore. Though quiet and content in his own world, Antonio’s gentle spirit and warm heart inspire everyone around him.
Antonio is in urgent need of a bathroom modification. His current bathroom is far too narrow for safe access. His caregivers must lift him in and out of a traditional bathtub, a process that often causes water to spill onto the floor, creating a slippery and hazardous environment. This daily routine not only places Antonio at risk but also strains his caregivers.
A roll-in shower would transform his bathroom into a safe, accessible space and greatly improve his quality of life.
Please consider being Antonio’s sponsor. Your generosity would help provide him with the dignity, comfort, and safety he deserves.
