Van Donation Will Allow Young Man to Experience Life

A young man served by the Muskingum County Board of Developmental Disabilities can now experience a fuller life.

Cameron is served by the MCBDD and has Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This week he was presented with a van, which was paid for with a combination of funds from the MCBDD and grants from Team Joseph and the Jett Foundation. This special ride is equipped with a wheelchair life and has room to transport Cameron’s other medical equipment.

Cameron and his grandfather Wes have big plans for the van. “We’re going to go. It’s going to get us out of this house. We’re thinking Yellowstone,” said Cameron’s grandfather Wes.

Cameron’s grandfather Wes added that the van will be a big improvement from the old van they currently drive, which is high on miles and has no air conditioning. “We have a silent prayer each time we pull into the Children’s parking lot that we made it,” said Wes.

Stay at Home Vehicle Modifications completed the modifications necessary to make the van most useful for Cameron.
