Timothy contracted Meningitis as an infant, which resulted in hearing loss and Cerebral Palsy. He attended Campbell’s Children’s School at Grandview, and also participated in speech, occupational, and physical therapies at the Centre as he grew.
Although his parents were once told that he might not talk or be able to take care of himself, today he loves to be independent and do things on his own. He just started Grade 11 and is getting along well with his classmates and loving all his classes.
You can help more kids like Timothy the support they need to live as their very best selves, give now at www.grandviewkidsfoundation.ca/donate-now/.
When Danielle was only 18-months-old, her mom Donna noticed that her legs had turned in and she wasn’t walking. Donna took her to Grandview Kids, where she met with a pediatrician as well as a speech therapist, physiotherapist, and occupational therapist. Daniella was soon diagnosed with cerebral palsy and from that day forward, was at Grandview with her mom almost weekly.
Daniella’s therapist at Grandview encouraged her to get involved with several new activities like swimming and also, sledge hockey, which she became very passionate about.
Daniella is now 15 and is playing sledge hockey each winter with the Durham Steelhawks. She even tried downhill skiing last year! She’s just started grade 10 and absolutely loves being in high school and is preparing for her future career goal of becoming a teacher.
Help more youth like Daniella achieve their dreams, by donating now at www.grandviewkidsfoundation.ca/donate-now/
