Maxwell Jackson

Maxwell was born with a profoundly debilitating condition called FOXG1 Syndrome. FOXG1 syndrome is a non-hereditary genetic condition that leaves Maxwell without the ability to walk, talk, sit, stand, grasp objects, feed/toilet himself, and caused a coritical vision impairment rendering him legally blind. He also requires a feeding pump to provide nourishment through his gtube. FOXG1 caused Maxwell to develop epilepsy in March 2019.

Despite all of these challenges Maxwell faces daily, he is the happiest, kindest, most patient kid ever! He never gets mad and loves music, swimming, mickey mouse, pigs, mardi gras beads, painting, bells and anything that lights up and has sound. He is a joy and blessing in our life and is loved by all!!! He even helped EXTRA LIFE raise $10,000 for Cincinnati Children’s Hospital (which he attends) by being the HERO KID for WV Fox gaming campaign! He is our little star!

Maxwell has grown SO much since starting preschool in 2019 and is in need of a wheelchair van to safely transport him to and from therapy, activities, school, etc. His mom, Marisa, and his grandmother, Monica, care for Max while his dad works.

The wheelchair van would help in these ways:
♥︎ Keep Maxwell out of the cold while his wheelchair is assembled outside of the vehicle and he is strapped into his chair. This process of assembly and strapping him in takes about 5 minutes.
♥︎ Allow Maxwell to go more places with his family, safely secured in his wheelchair (Currently, Maxwell and his 2 brothers barely fit in the vehicle together.)
♥︎ Prevent injury to his mom and grandmother who must breakdown and assemble the heavy wheelchair and lift it into the back of the SUV everywhere they go multiple times a day.

Maxwell and his family have chosen Help Hope Live to fundraise for his van! Help Hope Live collects funds raised for Max and gives tax deductions for contributors.
