The family is in need of a wheelchair-accessible van with a hydraulic lift. Otherwise, his power chair can only be used at home. MORE ⬇️
The chair can raise and lower with the push of a button, which helps him to do things he couldn’t do before, like brush his teeth.“They said it can go up to fifteen to eighteen miles before the battery dies,” said Silas. “It makes me feel like I’m more independent because I can do more things now and it makes me feel happy.”In Silas’ case, giving him very limited mobility in his arms and legs.
A great student, he now dreams about what he will do next with his chair, but there is only one problem. “Everywhere he goes people love him because he just exudes this love for people and confidence and joy for life and he doesn’t let things stop him or get him down,” said his grandma Bonnie. “You’re around Silas for thirty seconds and he’s a ray of sunshine,” said PTO CO-President Shannon Winer. “As soon as we found out his family was trying to raise money for this, we immediately wanted to support them in any way we could.”“We told our class about it, so they can tell their parents about it, we definitely want to get him the money to get the lift and the van, everything for him cause he’s been a great friend to us,” said Mack Fredericks.
