The Huicochea family are residents of Hood River and have lived in the Gorge for 30 years. Carlitos Huicochea is a 10 year old who has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Carlitos is greatly impacted by his medical issues. He is unable to crawl, walk or talk. Despite this, Carlitos has an infectious smile, enjoys music, and watching soccer.
Carlitos is completely dependent on others for his care, mobility and will need lifelong support. He has to use a wheelchair and his parents have to lift him in and out of the car, and throughout their home. Carrying Carlitos is getting more difficult as he grows.
Medical equipment is very expensive and funding through Carlitos’ insurance is very limited and not guaranteed. Eventually Carlitos will need a vehicle that accommodates a wheelchair when he is too big to be carried.
Please come out and support the Huicochea family of September 26th.
