A donation to The Patricia Allen Fund is FOR kids like Caleb.
When Caleb was little, he had difficulty moving around. He just couldn’t walk on his own, no matter how hard he tried. And when Caleb’s younger brother began to achieve milestones that Caleb had not, the family came to Oishei Children’s Hospital to find answers. At OCH, Caleb was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and ataxia. Here physicians were able to perform a spinal surgery on Caleb that brought increased mobility to his legs.
And before he left OCH, Caleb was able to stand unassisted.
