Here at Chive Charities, we know that our grants, both big and small, can make the same level of impact.

Mason M.’s grant was just one great example of that.

Last year, we introduced you to Mason, a 6-year-old little boy from a Military family in Texas. After suffering an accident involving an ATV rollover at the young age of 3, he suffered a TBI that changed his and his family’s lives forever.

In the years after the accident, Mason required the full-time use of a wheelchair, a feeding tube, a pain pump, and more.

With so much equipment, including his wheelchair, transporting Mason to and from their home was anything but easy. What made it even more challenging was that the family’s driveway was unpaved, in need of repairs, and unsuitable for Mason & his needs. Thanks to our incredible donors, we were able to cover the cost of a driveway repair for the family. This changed everything.

Candace, Mason’s mom, stated, “The driveway is amazing and helped us so so much especially this past winter/lately with all the rain we have received. Our therapist & nurses have ample room to park and walk without sinking in mud!”

While the road to healing has been long and full of obstacles, Mason has persevered forward with the help of his family, therapists, and doctors.

Now, Mason is in first grade and has only continued to make progress in his healing journey.

Candace told us, “Mason has grown and become more mentally aware over the last year. His brain injury is healing somewhat it seems with him understanding and being more attentive and responsive to commands.”

We were thrilled to hear that Mason is making such significant progress in his healing journey, and we can’t wait to see what else is in store for him as time goes on.
