Being Ethan’s older sister, I’ve seen firsthand the love and dedication our parents, Claire and Jeff Rosati, have poured into giving him the best possible life. Ethan has faced challenges that are impossible for most of us to imagine. When he was just 9 years old, he experienced a life-changing hemiplegic episode that left him paralyzed on his left side and unable to walk. Since that day, his world has changed in ways that are difficult to describe. Yet through it all, Ethan has shown incredible strength and determination. One of his greatest dreams has always been to walk again.
Now, we have an opportunity to make that dream come true. The Trexo robotic device could give Ethan the life-changing ability to engage in supported walking—something he hasn’t been able to experience for years. But the Trexo isn’t just about walking. It will help strengthen his body, improve his mobility, and enhance his overall quality of life. It offers a level of independence and activity that traditional mobility aids simply cannot provide.
Beyond the physical benefits, the Trexo will fulfill a deeply personal wish for Ethan. It will bring him renewed hope, confidence, and joy. Can you imagine the feeling of taking steps again? Of standing tall and kicking a soccer ball for the first time? These are the moments we dream of making possible for Ethan.
As a family, we’ve always found ways to meet life’s challenges together, finding ways to make things work. Medical equipment like the Trexo is expensive—the base price alone is around $30,000 USD, not including additional fees. While we’ve never organized a fundraiser for Ethan before, we knew it was time to take this step for him. Every single contribution, no matter how big or small, brings us one step closer to giving Ethan the gift of walking—something that would change his life forever.
My parents will be sharing updates on Ethan’s journey, and we invite you to follow along as we work toward this incredible goal. Together, we can make a profound difference in Ethan’s life—helping him not only walk again but also experience the freedom, independence, and joy he so deeply deserves.
Please consider donating today. Your generosity will forever change Ethan’s life and help him achieve his dream. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
