Dez is 19 years old and lives with autonomic nervous system dysfunction as a result of treatment for childhood cancer. Dez has an incredible attitude and does their best to face their health challenges with great strength. Dez’s condition continues to progress, and they have spent many of the past months in hospital. Dez’s family was provided with a wheelchair ramp into their home, allowing Dez to have the freedom and independence to come and go from their home like any other young adult. A barrier-free entrance to our home is something most of us take for granted, but for Dez and family this modification to their home was life changing.
