Izan, 3 years old

Wish submitted by:

Izan is a sweet and curious boy who has cerebral palsy. Eager to walk, he faces challenges due to his mobility issues, often struggling to support himself and frequently falling. Despite these difficulties, Izan is a strong and brave little boy who never gives up. He lives with his mother and two siblings, and they recently moved to the United States from Mexico in January 2023. The family relocated in search of better opportunities and to have Izan assessed at Children’s Hospital, hoping to access services that could help him. Izan loves playing with toy cars and blocks, and he currently moves around by crawling, showcasing his determination to explore the world around him.

Izan is on a journey filled with determination and hope, facing the daily challenges of living with Cerebral Palsy. Despite his diagnosis, he possesses an unyielding spirit and a desire to experience the world on his own two feet. However, the reality is that mobility issues keep him from walking independently, making even the simplest tasks feel monumental. Imagine Izan, courageously attempting to take those all-important first steps, only to find himself struggling to maintain his balance, often leading to unfortunate falls. Each attempt underscores not just the physical hurdles he faces, but also the emotional toll of his limitations. However, there's a glimmer of hope—an opportunity for Izan to gain newfound independence through the use of a walker. This walker wouldn’t just be a piece of equipment; it would symbolize freedom and confidence. With it, Izan would have the support he needs to navigate his home and apartment complex, allowing him to explore, engage, and connect with his surroundings like never before. By giving him this essential tool, it's not just helping him walk; it's helping him embrace the joy of movement and the promise of a brighter tomorrow.
