“On December 31, 2009, our then 14-month-old son, Oscar, was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, type II. SMA is a genetic disorder that will prevent Oscar from ever walking, cause him to progressively get weaker and ultimately compromise his life expectancy. He’ll need an accessible home in a school district that supports children with special physical needs. He’ll need advanced assistive equipment and whole health services not covered by insurance. In addition to providing for Oscar’s needs and overall well-being, our goal is to share our acquired knowledge and raise community awareness of SMA and disability issues.”
-Sally Bonn & David Merulla
