Review for Save the Kid Fund Inc, EAST LYME , CT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Our son was born with cerebral palsy due to a stroke. We were told at 3 months old that due to the stroke we should prepair for him to never walk, talk, and would have almost no fine motor skills. That was not a diagnosis we were willing to settle for, so from the age of 3 months through his teen years he spent week after week in physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. He spent many hours working with the school and therapists and 18 years later our son is attending high school and has a wall of accomplishments ranging from pee wee football to bowling to tractor pulling and now high school lacrosse. He refuses to say he can't but rather says He can, just give him time to figure it out. The one activity our family has never been able to attempt is a simple bike ride. A custom bike for our son was always out of our reach. We were never able to give him the custom bike he would need to accomplish this dream. A few days ago that dream came true for our son Woodie with the help and generosity of Save the Kid Fund. Now our family is planning another great adventure. Woodie is extremely excited and eager to see where he will be able to go now. Our deepest thanks to all the heroes at Save the Kid Fund. This gift will be treasured for years to come by our entire family.
