Scott, a patient born with cerebral palsy and reliant on a wheelchair, faced challenges when his overhead lift began to fail, making it difficult to transfer to his chair without help.
Repairs were costly and not covered by insurance, leaving him and his family unable to afford them. Thanks to collaboration between his care team and the Charitable Foundation, a new lift was installed, enabling him to regain his mobility and independence.

Helping one person might not change the world,
but it could change the world for one person!
