Lights for Jorge's Wheelchair

Posted May 22, 2023
For Jorge's upcoming birthday, he wants to have lights installed on his wheelchair. He can't wait to have his chair all decked out!

Jorge is 32 years old and lives in NJ

Jorge is an exceptional young man who has a smile that absolutely lights up a room. He experienced brain damage at birth, has cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair. This absolutely doesn't stop him from achieving his dreams, including attending college for video game design. When his mother learned of the potential struggles he would encounter, she abandoned him at the hospital. Jorge's grandmother rescued him and took custody of him and his five siblings. She was his protector, his angel, and his guiding light until she past away when he was 13. After living in a series of group homes throughout his teen years, Jorge aged out of foster care without being adopted. He currently is living at a men's group home where he enjoys playing video games, being with his friends, and showing off his DJ skills. Jorge's one hope in life is to find his forever family. He has never felt loved by a family since his grandmother. She loved him unconditionally and Jorge doesn't want to live the rest of his life around strangers that have to take care of him because it’s their job. Jorge is full of love and life and he desperately wants experience what a real, caring family is and share his love with them.
