Thomas’ Story

UCP of Nebraska’s Client Assistance Grant program helped purchase a new wheelchair for a ten-year-old boy that had outgrown his current wheelchair, but his family did not have the means to get him a new one. Not only did his new wheelchair give him more freedom and independence, but he was also able to hang out and socialize with his peers throughout his school day.  Here is a letter we received from Thomas:

“Dear United Cerebral Palsy, Thank you for helping get my new wheelchair! I appreciate it. I like how fast it goes.  It’s so helpful to go from place to place now”.
