Quincy, 11 years old, CA
Quincy came into foster care in February 2026 along with his two older siblings when his mother was using illegal drugs and his mother’s boyfriend was accused of sexually abusing his older sister. Quincy was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy and has lost the use of his legs over the course of 2026. During this ordeal, he has maintained a positive attitude. His teachers, fellow students, and many others have commented on how friendly he is. Recently, Quipuha started playing wheelchair basketball. It has been very helpful for him to be around other people who are confined to wheelchairs. He is the only person in a wheelchair in the school he attends, so wheelchair basketball helps him feel less isolated.
