Isaiah M.

Summer Fun with Isaiah!

July 2, 2024

Four years have passed since we first introduced you to Isaiah M., a 7-year-old boy with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). With the help of our generous donors, we were able to purchase a wheelchair-accessible van for Isaiah and his family.

Now 11 years old, Isaiah has only continued to overcome the unthinkable.

"In the first half of the year, Isaiah had 3 surgeries, 2 orthodontal and one dental," Vicky, Isaiah's mom, shared. "The van got us back and forth safely to our favorite hospital, Nemours, in Wilmington DE."

Despite having undergone so many surgeries, in true Isaiah fashion, Isaiah's spirit remained resilient.

"He’s amazing and has been literally right back to all the summer fun, with two big ole splints," Vicky shared.

The family recently moved to a new house with an elevator, which facilitated easier access for Isaiah, allowing him and the whole family to explore more adventures.

"We’ve ventured to Hershey Park frequently," Vicky continued, "and we’ve been all around our county venturing to trails and participating in geocaching activities here."

Although the first half of the Summer has come to an end, Isaiah and his family have not yet had their fill for adventure! The family shared that they are going to take a roadtrip to Myrtle Beach in their van. Vicky told us, “It’ll be our third year in a row for that amazing roadtrip, where we even get to have Isaiah’s Pop join us since we have the space thanks to the van!"

As Isaiah looks forward to removing his splints and diving back into the pool, his family remains grateful for the support that has allowed them the to embrace life's adventures fully. Their journey continues to inspire and uplift, reminding us all of the power of resilience and community.
