After my recent request to raise funds to help Kirk — the seven year old boy who had a stroke shortly after birth — we managed to raise over $17,000 so he could have the Quadriciser, the machine he needed to help him train his body and mind on how to move.
Kirk has his machine now and that’s him using it.
Note his smile.
Note that you helped make this possible.
His mother wrote the following to me the day the machine was set up:
“The Quadriciser is all set and ready to go…
We put Kirk in, made sure he was comfortable, and we turned it on!
What happened next was so funny!
Kirk’s eyes got really BIG as his arms AND legs moved then he looked at me and his eyes said, “WOW! So this is what it is like when everything works!”
He watched his legs then he watched his arms (he was very quiet), then he would look at me and then he would watch his body move and move and keep moving!
Then, the unexpected happened.
The stimulation of having his legs and arms move put a smile on his face and he started to respond to the movement!
We have LOTS of work to do, but now all the tools are in place…thanks to YOU :-)”
She later sent an email saying, “Kirk says, ‘Look at me move, Joe!!!!! Thank you Joe! Thank you everybody! My smile says how much I love you !!!”
I hope you sense the love coming your way from a little boy you helped.
He loves unconditionally.
He’s a model for all of us.
I am grateful.
Ao Akua,
Joe
