We have the most incredible news — Gabriel has been squeezed in for intensive therapy this November and again in January. This isn’t just another appointment… this is a chance for him to take some of the biggest steps forward in his journey yet. 

 For two weeks at a time, Gabriel will work with a therapist who is deeply devoted to treating the whole child. She shared: 

 “I use Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT), Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) as a certified Intermediate B practitioner, Sensory Integration, Total Motion Release, and Task-Specific Electrical Stimulation (TASES) Level 2 motor learning techniques. I’m also trained in NISE Stim and am a certified TheraTogs fitter. I combine these techniques to develop a comprehensive treatment plan for each of my clients. I am devoted to treating the whole child through exceptional care and support, and I find the greatest joys in helping my clients and their families reach their greatest potential.” 
 
This means twice-a-day sessions filled with: 

 
  • Water therapy to strengthen his muscles, improve balance, and give him freedom of movement he doesn’t have on land.
  • Hippotherapy — horseback riding therapy — to build his core, improve coordination, and encourage communication in ways no other therapy can.
  • And a blend of specialized, targeted techniques made just for him.

For a child with cerebral palsy, this kind of program can be life-changing. It’s a chance to gain strength, movement, independence — and confidence — that will last long after the sessions end.
 
We’ve been blessed to receive a $1,000 grant, but the total cost is $3,000–$5,000 when factoring in therapy, travel, and staying at an Airbnb for the duration. We are so close… but we can’t do it alone.
 
💙 If you can give, please do. If you can share, please share. Every bit helps us get Gabriel into that therapy room, onto that horse, and into the water — working toward his greatest potential.
 
Thank you for believing in him, for cheering for him, and for being part of his story. You are helping him move mountains. 💙
