Meet Eliseo!
Meet 6- year-old Eliseo, or better known by his friends and family as Eli! Eli was born nearly three months prematurely with a pulmonary hemorrhage at birth, causing him to spend months in the NICU. When he was around two years old, he wasn’t walking or meeting typical toddler milestones and was officially diagnosed with cerebral palsy. While he can crawl and sit up, he lacks mobility. Eli also has a history of seizures.
Although Eli faces many struggles, he remains an energetic and angelic little boy! He can speak some words, but has been learning American Sign Language. Country legend Randy Travis is his favorite singer. He is a big fan of the popular children’s show, Cocomelon. Eli loves spending time at the beach and swimming. He is an outdoorsy little guy who enjoys simple pleasures such as blowing bubbles or swinging on swings. Eli will melt your heart with just his smile!
Eli is in need of a Crocodile walker. This walker will increase his independence with mobility as well as give him opportunities to participate in more age-appropriate activities with his peers. Please consider being Eli’s sponsor to help give him the gift of mobility!
