“Despite a healthy pregnancy, Liam suffered a traumatic birth that resulted in a Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) event. His diagnosis requires full-time care and presents many challenges, including his daily struggles with multiple uncontrolled Epileptic seizures and quad Cerebral Palsy. Essential specialized equipment is vital for Liam’s quality of life. We struggled with believing that our need was worthy of such a generous grant over others’ needs. The Vail Valley Charitable Fund assured us that our need was no less important than any other. Thanks to their generosity and support, we received the funds to purchase a medical stroller. Liam can now join his brothers on all adventures, experiencing the beauty of the world around him, safely. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to the VVCF for believing in Liam and supporting our family. Your impact has been profound, and we are forever grateful.”
