A Ride On Red Jeep for Nico who thrives outside

Posted Apr 22, 2020
Nico is having a tough time with the changes to his daily routine caused by COVID-19 that are keeping him indoors. He is a big boy for his age and struggles with behaviors due to Frontal Lobe Syndrome. During the school year Nico is busy attending his specialized education and therapy program. With him home schooling and his caregivers working from home, the days have been long and stressful. Last Spring Nico had a ride on tractor that he loved but it got taken from in front of his home. He wishes for something new to ride around outside and have fun with on the warm days ahead.

Nico is 9 years old and lives in NJ

Nico is a very active and handsome little guy. He is tall for his age and loves trucks, lawn mowers ,bubbles and anything he can play with outside! Nico has been in out of home placement for the last 4 1/2 years in the resource home of his great aunt and uncle. Nico suffers from Frontal Lobe Syndrome, severe ADHD and developmental delays due to drug exposure in utero. He is currently receiving therapy through his specialized school program, requires a one to one in his classroom and has a behavioralist. Nico's family is trying their best to keep him stable in their home but it is very hard on them with such severe behaviors.
