Last year we introduced you to our friend Kaiden, a sweet 5 year old little boy with Cerebral Palsy. Thanks to the generosity of our incredible donors, Chive Charities was able to grant Kaiden and his family with a stairlift. This stairlift allows for Kaiden to easily and securely access all floors of the home, making it significantly easier for his grandparents / primary caregivers to assist him.

We reached out to Kaiden’s grandma, Regina, to see how Kaiden has been doing over the last year. Below is that update in her own words.

“Hello everyone,

It is so great to hear from you. I know it has only been one year since the installation of the stair lift, but boy has Kaiden grown and it has been a tremendous help to us. He loves it. We thought it could be a difficult process and that he could fall off or be afraid of it, but we treat it like a carnival ride,  actually last year about the same time or right before the stair lift was installed we took him to Wildwood New Jersey and he got on his first amusement park rides so that’s what we tell him the chair is, he has no problems with it, no reservations, and he isn’t afraid of it .  There are two windows in the stairway and we stop at them to ask him what he sees.  This little boy is such a joy. Thank you so much for all of your assistance , and we will be forever grateful for this wonderful gift.

Ron, Regina, Stephanie and especially KAIDEN.”
