My name is Josh I am a 43 year old male born with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. I present with significantly high extensor tone throughout my trunk and extremities. I am non-ambulatory and wheelchair bound. I have no functional use of either upper or lower extremities. Therefore, I am completely dependent for self-care, including feeding, toileting, dressing, bathing and transfers.
Twenty-one years ago, I moved into my own apartment. It has been a great first apartment. While I have lived here I have worked at VCU for a number of years, gone to college and earned an associate’s degree. Now I am starting a new chapter in my life and I couldn’t be more excited. I am moving!! I am in the process of finding the perfect place now and hope to find something in the VCU area that will allow me to be close to people, restaurants and shopping. your donations will go toward my moving cost and to insure that I start the next chapter in my life successfully
