Meet
the Johnson family
Steve,
Deb and their 2 daughters: Sarah & Anne.
Three
years ago, Steve was diagnosed with a rare disease called
Mitochondrial Myopathy. This disease has no cure and affects
everyone differently. The symptoms range from loss of breath
to complete muscle loss. The family was totally unprepared
to cope with the crippling disabilities Steve’s condition
places on him. Steve is unable to work, move about the house,
travel, or climb the stairs in their home forcing him to sleep
in a hospital bed in the living room instead of in his own
bedroom on the second floor.
The dream for the Johnson family would be to have a first
floor bedroom for Steve and Deb to allow Steve the comfort
and privacy of his own room. |
