Lucy now has a place she can call home!

June 21, 2016

Tasha-Kay reached out to us with some very exciting news! “These last few weeks the flash campaign funds from November have really manifest in our lives! Lucy's new chair came in. It is the appropriate size for her body, and doesn't hurt her feet. She is also tall enough to be able to sit at the table with us when we go places. It doesn't fit in our car without disassembling it every time, but we happily do so for her comfort. Her new braces should be here this week, and her orthotics designer said she is doing so well we are going to try a smaller AFO.

We have also closed on a house we can call home. The house is being made accessible for her with minimal modification! We are having to put in some ramps and bars, but some were already  in place. The house Chivers helps purchase also has a swimming pool to accommodate her therapy needs! It is close the the cycling path so we are very excited to keep using her hand cycle on a regular basis.

Lastly, with the funds she has been able to attend OT and has been approved to begin interviewing for her mobility dog! Assistance Dogs of the West said they will be vi ya ting us Monday for schedule dog interviews. It is still a long  process but it's the next step.

This next two does come at a great time for our family, as we are grieving the loss of our sr. Family Dog Linus.

Also this summer Lucy again donated her hair, this time to 'wigs for kids'!”
