We are deeply grateful for the generosity and kindness of our community. Thanks to your support, we've been able to provide essential care and assistance for Zander as we navigate his journey to recovery.
Your donation, no matter the size, has a meaningful impact:
OT Milestone
Zander had his first Occupational Therapy (OT) appointment, which went exceptionally well! He won't need to return to the clinic as we continue his fine motor skill development at home.
Dental Health
Zander visited the dentist and, fortunately, his wisdom teeth are already out. Once he's healed from his surgery, we'll discuss the possibility of removing the remaining teeth.
Eye Health Update
Zander had an eye appointment revealing challenges with his right eye. He'll undergo surgery to fix the lens and address dried blood, with hopes of preserving his vision and nerve health.
Therapeutic Support
Zander has begun Occupational Therapy with our dear friend GiGi, a retired OT professional with decades of experience. He's also preparing for upcoming Physical Therapy and psychiatric appointments.
Support Networks
We met with Victor from TBI Warriors, who will be Zander's advocate throughout his recovery. Zander also led a Trauma Survivors Day Walk, symbolizing his strength and leadership within our hospital community.
Community Engagement
Zander participated in Trauma Survivors Day events, connecting with others who understand his journey. Additionally, his artwork will be showcased at the Presa House Gallery, celebrating his creativity and resilience.
We want to share!!
Zander had some memorable experiences, attending his sister's college graduation and even saying "yes" to prom! These moments of normalcy amidst recovery are invaluable.
