Meet Erik!

 

 

Meet 12-year-old Erik! When Erik was three years old, he fell into the pool and suffered from a drowning accident, causing him an anoxic brain injury. He spent roughly 50 days in the hospital and became Trach dependent after his accident. He cannot talk, walk or stand without assistance.

Despite Erik’s trials, he is an amazing kid who enjoys life to the fullest! Erik loves to watch comedies on TV, such as Psych and Big Bang Theory. When it comes to movies, Erik is a huge Marvel cinematic universe fan- his favorite being Guardians of the Galaxy. He enjoys listening to a wide variety of music ranging from yacht and classic rock to contemporary rockers such as the Foo Fighters and Red-Hot Chili Peppers. Music is a big part of who he is and one of his favorite outings is going to concerts with his dad! Erik also loves to watch hockey and wrestling. Erik has defied the odds and is a true survivor! He has a sense of humor and his dad says he’s quite the prankster, but as the saying goes, “Every time you find humor in difficult situations, you win.” And in our book, Erik has definitely won!

Erik is in need of a new bath chair, as he has currently outgrown his current chair. Please be his sponsor!
