The Story
Max was born with a rare genetic disorder that prevents his body from clearing cellular waste. This causes a harmful buildup, especially in his brain, that slowly destroys his nervous system. Often called childhood dementia, the disease robs children of the abilities they once had, one by one.
Once, Max could walk, talk, laugh, and play. Now, as his disease progresses, he has lost those joys. He cannot move alone and depends entirely on around-the-clock care for every need, from mobility to communication and comfort.
Every day, Max requires even more support as his condition worsens. Max’s family is by his side, doing everything possible to keep him safe and loved. Bathing him is the hardest, riskiest task they face each day.
Without an accessible bathroom right now, lifting and moving Max puts urgent, ongoing strain on his caregivers and increases the immediate risk of injury for everyone involved.
We can change this for Max.
We are building a fully accessible bathroom for Max, a safe, supportive space urgently needed by him and his parents. Your donation is needed now to help pay for essential upgrades, such as a wheelchair-accessible shower and a roll-under vanity. These changes will immediately make lifting easier, improve safety, and bring comfort, making daily care safer and more manageable for Max and his family.
Please act now to support Max and his family. Your immediate help can truly make a difference, as Max’s health continues to decline and a safe, accessible bathroom is urgently needed. Contribute today to create a safer, more dignified space for Max and provide much-needed relief to those who care for him every day.
