Meet Dawson


Dawson is 8 years old. We visited him today. He is as sweet as can be and very loving. He has cerbral palsy (extrememly limited motor skills), epilepsy, and limited vision as a result of a premature birth. He has outgrown his crib. He needs a special bed, one that is close to the ground so he can pull himself up with his one good arm, and one that will keep him safe through the night where he is prone to seizures.
His parents can't afford a specialized bed.
Dawson is one of the weak of this world. The world may not, but God lifts the poor and the weak into a place of honor. He does this through the sensitive hearts of His people. We will join this network of goodness.
Let's build Dawson a bed of his own. How hard could it be?
