Ahzshani, 15 years old | 10 DAYS WAITING

Directions for Living

Ahzshani lives at home with his grandmother and adopted siblings. Ahzshani has been diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy, but despite his diagnosis, he loves to have activities outside of the home. He enjoys swimming, running, and sports such as football and basketball. Ahzshani is very outgoing with family and friends despite the challenges he faces.

Due to his diagnosis, Ahzshani is not able to be as active as before, which puts a strain on his mental health. He would greatly benefit from attending the YMCA over the summer. He wants to be able to have fun activities during the summer, make new friends, and be active. His local YMCA has a pool and exercise machines that he can use as part of his physical therapy. Granting this wish would also help the family with their financial challenges. His grandmother cannot afford additional expenses at this time and cannot afford extracurricular activities for Ahzshani.
