Kimberly and Brad Moore built a custom wheelchair for their 7-month-old daughter, Evelyn, after deciding they couldn’t wait for one.
They followed an online tutorial, and it cost them around $100.
At 4 months, Evelyn had a spinal tumor and was diagnosed with neuroblastoma.
It left her paralyzed under his arms; luckily, she eventually went into remission.
Doctors told Kimberly and Brad to wait until Evelyn was 2 to get her own wheelchair.
Evelyn’s parents didn’t want to wait, and now they have a speed bump in their house.
Evelyn is fearless in her wheelchair, according to her mother.
The wheelchair consists of a cutting board, castors and a Bumbo chair.
It didn’t take long for Evelyn to learn how to use it.
Pediatric oncologist Bev Wilson said Evelyn is a happy kid.
Evelyn is constantly on the move, visiting the nurses and greeting the other children. She is like the other children but faster.
A few times a week, Evelyn is supported by a harness and walks on a treadmill.
It has helped her improve her bladder control, boost her immune system, and gain more control over her lower body.
Kimberly and Brad work hard to make sure Evelyn has a normal childhood.
They have many challenges to overcome, but Evelyn is happy and her health is improving day by day.
