Help Izzy Take His Next Big Steps

Product Description

As many of you know, our son Izzy was born with cerebral palsy, a condition that affects his muscle control and movement. From an early age, walking has been a challenge for him. His muscles have to work overtime just to keep him moving, and every step takes incredible effort.

In 2015, Izzy had Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy, a procedure at St. Louis Children’s Hospital that reduces spasticity (muscle tightness). Which was very successful.

Now, June 24th Izzy is undergoing a major surgery called an osteotomy, a procedure designed to help correct the alignment of his legs. The goal is to make walking more efficient and far less painful. This surgery is a huge step toward greater independence, giving him the chance to walk with better balance, stability, and comfort.

Recovery will be a long road filled with physical therapy, follow-ups, and a lot of determination. But Izzy is one of the strongest souls we know, and this surgery opens the door to a future where walking isn’t such a struggle for him.

We’re raising funds to help cover the costs of his recovery, including therapy, adaptive equipment, and travel for follow-up care. If you’re able to support in any way — whether by donating, sharing, or simply sending encouragement — we’re incredibly grateful.

Thank you for believing in Izzy and being part of his journey to walk with confidence.
