Roman, age 16, is living with cerebral palsy and a diverted spinal column. The wheelchair accessible van his parents use to transport him needed repairs to the wheelchair lift and he was unable to use it until it was fixed. NAF paid to repair the wheelchair lift and also paid for engine and transmission repairs that were found in the process. Roman is back on the road now!

Roman's mother, Maria, left us a message saying, "Thank you so much for the repairs. God bless you. This is our Merry Christmas!"

Deandre, age 22, was just recently diagnosed with Cauda Equina Syndrome which is affecting his spinal cord and causing paralysis. Deandre needed a manual wheelchair with a pressure releasing cushion but couldn't afford it. We were able to provide a brand new chair and cushion to Deandre to keep him mobile and independent.

Michael, age 44, went into sudden cardiac arrest in May of this year . As a result of an extended period of time without oxygen, he sustained an anoxic brain injury. CPR administration then caused a spinal cord injury. Michael's wife approached NAF to ask for help to keep Michael independent. In addition to referring Michael to a few other charities who will help with some in-home care, NAF was able to provide ramp access to their rental home and will be providing additional assistance with some much needed intensive rehab.
