My son Steve was diagnosed with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, and our lives changed in ways I never expected. As his parent, I want nothing more than to make him as comfortable as possible, but the reality is that DMD requires equipment and support systems that go far beyond what our current situation allows.

Right now, we're managing on a low income, and that means every decision about Steve's care comes with difficult choices. He needs specialized tools and equipment to help him stay as mobile and comfortable as he can be. But there's another critical piece: I need a vehicle that can properly support his wheelchair and the lift equipment he relies on. My current car just isn't compatible, and that's creating barriers to Steve getting the care and independence he deserves.

This fundraiser is about giving Steve the support system he needs. With your help, we can get the equipment that will improve his daily comfort and quality of life, and secure a vehicle that will let me transport him safely and easily. It's about removing obstacles so Steve can focus on living his life as fully as possible.

Thank you for considering Steve's journey. Your support means everything to us.
