    My dad had polio at age 2 in 1912. Somehow he and his brother devised a method of securing him to a pony. Dad told me that riding the pony gave him a sense of freedom. Sometimes other kids would ride with him. It facilitated his acceptance in the group. He would love what you are doing.

      Great idea to customize toys that increase mobility.

    Brilliant. Not only does he give the kids cooler, more kid-friendly rides than an electric wheelchair and make these rides much less expensive than an electric wheelchair, but he modifies them in a way that makes the kids exercise their weaker muscles to get the vehicles to respond.

      Don't hope, do it! If you can't do it on your own, be part of someone else's thing. Just go up to someone who is doing something you believe in and say these magic words: "I want to help, tell me what to do".

    • @gailrodgers3079
      @gailrodgers3079 4 года назад

      If you can't figure what you can do to help, you can always help contribute to the cause. In this instance, many parents with disabled kids are generally out of funds as the cost of raising these kids is huge. Trying to fund one car a year for a child would be what $200-300 or about $25 a month to contribute. Most people can find an extra $25/month for a cause that they really believe in.

I am so sad that our community is pushed to relying on fundraisers, charities and government financial support to be able to afford what is necessary for our children and not a luxury. We put our dignity on the line as if life isn't already tough enough.

But this shows me there's still that glimmer of hope that mankind isn't completely doomed. Thank you so much. This was so touching to see. It's refreshing to see technology being developed for truly noble purposes like this. Instead of just the cyber toys (that I do love) that serve no real world application. This hits me on so many levels. I'm so happy to know that there are still good people in this world.

    This is wonderful. Such a simple solution that should be invested in. The Dr and everyone involved should be supported. This is the perfect example of what can come from an idea, a need and a dream to help kids be kids no matter what difficulty their bodies face. They all just want to be kids and play. Brilliant. I hope Go Baby Go becomes a force to allow families to enjoy their kids and have resources that will help the families and the kids enjoy what most people take for granted. The freedom to move and play together is so important. This should be and stay available for all families not just those that can afford it. Bless the people who are making a difference.

    That's awesome! At barely 2 years old my daughter was in a Spica cast for 3 months and struggled to walk like a frog. She could move her legs so we purchased her a regular 3-wheel ride on toy that was meant to be peddled. She was able to very quickly scoot herself around places on the toy. Thankfully, we never faced resistance when taking the toy into shops, but I did point out the cast up to her armpits (under dress) if I saw an employee watching.

    Its sad that as a society we dont care enough about kids to make sure no kid is left uninvited to bday parties. being left out like that causes lifelong anxiety for many kids. Its a failure of the parents and the state to not understand the first years of life are crucial for the lifelong social development of all kids. Is it any wonder many people grow up lacking social skills when they are so neglected as kids.
