September Completed Project - Diaz Family

Our most recent project was securing a new rear entry conversion van for the Diaz family. 

Back in August (original article below), we started working with the Diaz family.  Axl is a 7-year old physically disabled child who has no motor movement and little cognitive ability.  His mother, Denise has been burdened having to transport Axl by physically picking him up out of his wheelchair and loading him into their existing vehicle.  Denise had to manually load his heavy wheelchair into the vehicle.

Now with their new conversion van, the Diaz familiy has significantly improved their transportation capabilities.

Axl's mom, Denise says... "A big Thank You! to Muriel's Angels for helping us with our wheelchair conversion!  It has truly been life changing for my son, Axl and I.  A huge weight was lifted off my shoulds thanks to the amazing support we received.   Again, Thank You John, Dale and Muriel's Angels for working with us!"

New Project (September) - Davis Family

Our most recent project will be securing a wheelchair accessible van for Jack, age 5 who suffers from myotubular myopathy.   Jack is confined to a wheelchair.  The family is supported by a nurse that accompanies Jack to a public school on a daily basis.  Jack has no motor skills, relies on feeding tubes, is non-verbal but understands and uses a computer to communicate. Otherwise, his cognitive skills are normal for his age.  

A wheelchair accessible van is necessary for daily doctors appointments and general transportation.   Presently the wheelchair has to be broken-down, and Jack has to be carried into his present vehicle by his mother or his nurse (see pictures below).  We hope to have this project completed within the next couple of months.   

Jack, his mother, Lauren and his nurse are pictured along with John Ludwig of Muriel's Angels and David Meshkani of Aero Mobility.

New Project (August) - Diaz Family

Axl is a 7-year old physically disabled child who has no motor movement and little cognitive ability.  His mother, Denise has been burdened with having to transport Axl by physically picking him up out of his wheelchair and loading him into their existing vehicle.  Denise then has to manually load his heavy wheelchair into the vehicle.  

We are raising funds for a rear-entry conversion Chevy Traverse vehicle, which would greatly improve the Diaz's family's daily transportation needs.   

Denise Diaz, her son, Axl and Board members of Muriel's Angels; John Ludwig and Dale Hight as well as Rich Encinas representing Mission Viejo Elks Lodge.  The Lodge has donated a number of wheelchairs to Muriel's Angels.

As the photos show, as a child grows, you can see why Axl's mother will have continued difficulty in transporting her child for their daily needs.

Completed Project (July) - Kawana Family

We started working with the Kawana family back in May, helping them with their son, Haruka and their van conversion needs.   Haruka is a 14-year old child that suffers from Muscular Dystrophy. 

We are pleased to announce that their van conversion is complete and their van was delivered on July 14th at Aero Mobility. 

Haruka's mother, Masami says it all... "I want to thank you for your generous contribution towards our new accessible family van.  We are so excited and ready to have many memorable journeys in comfort, thanks to all of you at Muriel's Angels!!!"
