This month marks three years since we first introduced you to Kegan - and what a journey it has been! first joined the Chive Charities family. Thanks to the generous support of this incredible community, Chive Charities was able to purchase Kegan’s family a wheelchair-accessible van to assist with transportation. Now, transportation is easier than ever before.

“I am now able to drop off Kegan and pick him up from school,” Kegan’s mom, Latanza, shared. “I had to rely on school transportation, and Kegan would be on the bus for up to an hour and a half both before and after school.”

Now, with the modified van, Kegan gets more time at home — and more rest. 

“Because of the modifications I’m able to get his dinner and medicine routine started and him tucked into bed at a decent time now,” Latanza shared.

Just as importantly, both Kegan and Latanza are able to go where they need to go without the risk of injuring either one of them. 

“I’ve been able to transport him in and out of the van with no injuries to myself or to Kegan,” Latanza said.

Looking back on the past three years, Kegan’s mom said it best:
“The modifications have really been such a blessing and we are forever thankful for Chive Charities for blessing Kegan.”

Three years later, your support is still making a daily difference. To all who contributed to make this happen for Kegan and his family, thank you. It is because of your support that we are able to make this kind of lasting impact possible. 

We look forward to seeing what else is in store for Kegan and Latanza in the future.
