The TiLite Twist

I have been absolutely blown away at the love and support of SO many people yesterday and today. In just 24 hours we have nearly reached 1/2 of our goal! We are at $1215.00!!! THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us, regardless of how! Everything matters...every prayer, word of encouragement, and every single dollar!

I thought that I would tell you a little bit more about the wheelchair we are raising money for. Here it is (In the color that Izzy picked!) This is the TiLite Twist!

We picked this chair for many different reasons...but the bottom line is that it's perfect for Izzy! Without getting into all the details that will completely bore you, basically we need a specific chair that has many different adjustment options to meet his limb difference needs, is light and easy to push, has wheels that come up high enough for his little arm to reach, has break extensions so he can reach them, and much more! Shriner's has one of these chairs as a demo that we used for a few hours while we were there and Izzy totally loved it! He could get in and out on his own, turn and steer easily, and well...he actually cried when we told him he couldn't take it home :-( But when I told him yesterday about the fund raiser and the fact that we would be getting it soon, the look on his face was priceless!
