It was an exhilarating and jovial day for 2-year-old Cillian when he received his power wheelchair. The little one’s parents wanted to buy the same for him but could not afford it. However, the act of kindness and giving has today altered their dream into reality.
When Cillian’s father learned that the power wheelchair is way too expensive, he approached the Farmington High School’s robotics team. And on hearing his story, the students didn’t say no as they were ready to work on it.
The students designed the power wheelchair out of a power wheels toy and also emphasized on the joystick which has Cillian written on top.
Cillian finds it difficult to move his body and while talking about his condition to Kare 11, his father said: “He has an especially hard time controlling his body. He has a lot of symptoms you’d see in someone who has cerebral palsy.”
It feels great when people take an initiative to help another human being. Cillian is happily riding his power wheelchair today and we are extremely proud of the ones who made this possible.
