Crystal

Crystal and her mother Madeline live in a small second story Connecticut apartment. The wheelchair Crystal uses at school was too large for Madeline to carry up the steps and was often left on the cold damp front porch. At night Madeline would carry Crystal to their apartment where she had to sit in a stroller or crawl around on the floor. Not quite something an independent spirited 9-year-old wants to do at night. 

After a few minor adjustments we were able to ship a lightweight collapsible wheelchair to Crystal and Madeline. With the new chair Madeline can easily carry it upstairs or place it in the back of her car to take Crystal anyplace they want to go. Best of all, Crystal no longer has to rely on someone pushing her around in the stroller. Crystal’s teacher tells us Crystal feels very confident with her newfound independence and is especially happy the chair is even pink, her favorite color!
