Adrian's story is one of perseverance, love, and joy in the face of incredible challenges. Born prematurely at just 27 weeks during Hurricane Katrina, doctors said Adrian wouldn't survive an hour. He was a triplet, and heartbreakingly, his siblings passed away. Adrian fought through those early days on the strongest ventilator available, and though doctors said he would never speak, today he talks nonstop—often singing his favorite tunes from Taylor Swift, church choirs, or asking Alexa to call his grandmother in Puerto Rico.

Adrian is 19 years old now, full of personality and light. He adores zebras, trains, graduations, sushi, and Chips Ahoy cookies. He paints beautiful pictures and thrives in environments filled with music, art, and excitement. His mom, a dedicated Spanish and cooking teacher at a middle school in Roswell, lovingly calls him her "little miracle."

Adrian requires total physical care, and their current bathroom setup is both unsafe and exhausting. Mom can only bathe Adrian twice a week because of how difficult and physically taxing it is. She has to place one foot inside the bathtub, straddle the side, and use a cup to rinse him—balancing her own weight while lifting her 80+ lb son, who is the same height as her. When he's done, she wraps him in a sweatshirt—because he's too slippery for a towel—and carries him to a massage table in her bedroom to diaper and dress him. There's no changing table in the bathroom, and his bed in the bedroom doubles as one for everything else.

Adrian has non-traceable seizures and can be unsteady. In the shower, he sometimes throws his head back—making a typical setup dangerous. He needs room to maneuver a shower chair safely and could benefit from features like a centrally located showerhead, more space, and a higher bed with safety rails to keep him secure.

He's proud of his independence and wants to wash his own hands, so a wheelchair-accessible sink would be a gift of dignity. Though only Mom uses the toilet, Adrian wants his space to be functional, beautiful, and most of all—a place that doesn't cause his mommy pain. As he said sweetly during our visit, \u201cI want a new shower so Mommy doesn't have to step over the side.\u201d

Despite everything, Adrian is vibrant and full of life. He's already planning a party to celebrate the reveal. His eyes light up when he talks about his favorite colors, music, or calling Grandma on Alexa. He's talkative, imaginative, and dreams big—just like any other child.
