While others often focus on Kamden’s wheelchair and disability, Paul never acted like Kamden was different.
Kamden, 8, who lives in Poway, California, was born with a tumor on his T2 and T3 vertebras.
While he has had three surgeries to de-bulk the tumor, Kamden is paraplegic and relies on a wheelchair.
The wheelchair gives Kamden freedom, but it is heavy and bulky, which sometimes makes it hard for Kamden to push himself.
Medical, the state’s Medicare, only pays for a wheelchair once every five years, and the Houshans couldn’t afford another chair.
After the boys finished second grade this year, Paul told his mom he wanted to help Kamden get a new wheelchair.
In two weeks, the campaign exceeded its goal of $3,900 and raised $5,455, which covers the cost of a customized wheelchair. »
