Support for Sweet Gabriel 💙
Hello dear family and friends,
We’re reaching out to share a piece of our hearts—our brave, joyful son Gabriel. Born at just 26 weeks and weighing only 1 lb 2 oz, Gabriel has been a fighter from the very beginning. Now three years old, he continues to shine as he navigates life with cerebral palsy, always full of determination and love.
Many people have asked how they can help, so we’ve created this page to keep you updated on Gabriel’s journey and to share meaningful ways to support his ongoing care and progress.
Here’s how your support will help Gabriel:
🦶 Ankle-Foot Orthotics (AFOs) – These custom braces support Gabriel’s walking and stability. They typically cost $1,200–$1,500, and unfortunately, they are not covered by insurance.
🪑 Specialty Seating & Mobility Equipment – Gabriel needs custom seating systems to safely participate in daily life and family activities. These can range from $3,000–$5,000 each, depending on his needs.
🧠 Intensive Physical Therapy – This type of therapy is crucial to help Gabriel build strength and mobility while he’s young. These programs often cost between $5,000 and $14,000 for a session block, and are not covered by insurance.
Why we’re sharing this:
We want to give Gabriel every opportunity to thrive. These therapies and tools are essential to his development—but the costs add up quickly, and most are not covered by insurance.
This page is a way for us to share Gabriel’s journey and give those who have asked a chance to help in ways that truly make a difference.
From the bottom of our hearts,
Thank you for walking alongside us.
💛 Team Gabriel
