Story
This page was created to raise funds for these 3 boys who suffer from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) to finally be able to get out of their house and see the World. The destination will depend on how much we can raise, but i’m hoping to get them on a plane somewhere, that would be a dream come true :) if not, a trip in Nepal, getting them to see the beautiful Himalaya a bit closer!!!! Either way, they’ll be the happiest boys in the World 😊❤️😊
DMD is a deadly genetic condition that starts to destroy their muscles from birth, until it takes all their movements away, making them fully dependent, needing assistance from feeding, to washing, to turning in bed, to covering themselves if they are cold or uncovering if they are hot, even to scratch an itch they need help.
Can you imagine a life like that? Can you imagine a life where you are just watching it pass by and need help to participate in it? Can you imagine being trapped in your own body when all you wanna do is open your wings and fly away?
These boys don't have to imagine, they have lived this life. They have watched patiently whilst life took all their movements away, whilst death took their brothers, and time washed away their dreams of seeing the World. And despite all that they have lost, they keep watching life with a smile and with the curiosity of a little child; eager to see, eager to know, eager to experience the WORLD!
This is the story about 3 boys, 3 boys that stole my heart; 3 boys that have so much life inside of them, but not so much time to live it...
Please help me bring hope into their days and a smile to their faces, please help me get them a little bit closer to their dreams, please help me bring some happiness into their days.
Please help in any way you can by donating, sharing, giving and raising awareness . Any donation can make a difference, if we all give a little, it can mean so much for them, and for us it will be perhaps just a little change, something we don’t need and wouldn’t think twice to spend on a coffee or a snack.
Please please please! I know we can’t help everyone, but all together we can help someone, let these wonderful boys be your someone today.
THIS IS THE STORY OF 3 AMAZING BOYS, THAT HAVE LOST SO MUCH, LETS GIVE THEM SOMETHING IN RETURN. THEY DESERVE IT!!!
Thank youuuuu
