Some days, this journey feels heavier than others, and Friday was one of them.

We took Elijah's manual wheelchair in for repairs after it was damaged while lifting it out of our current van. What we thought would be a simple fix turned into something much bigger: the frame is bent, and we were told he would need an entirely new wheelchair.

A new chair. A failing van. And a little boy who deserves safety, dignity, and mobility in both.

This is why our fundraiser matters so deeply. We’re working toward a wheelchair‑accessible van that can safely transport not only Elijah’s 300+ lb power chair without risking damage or injury. But our manual chair. Our current van simply can’t do that anymore.

Thanks to this incredible community, we’ve already raised $4,786 toward making this possible. Every share, every donation, every prayer is helping us move one step closer to giving Elijah the freedom to get to appointments, therapies, family outings, and everyday life without fear of something breaking… again.

Your kindness is carrying us through a season that feels impossibly heavy, and we are so grateful.
