Back in 2012, Southie resident Sydni Pecevich and her family received an early Christmas gift – much needed renovations to their South Boston home to accommodate her new wheelchair. Diagnosed with a rare malignant brain tumor at two months old, Sydni has since defied all doctor speculations and is a miracle survivor who is now living happily cancer free. Soon to be 12 years old, Sydni is growing by leaps and bounds and needs our help again!
Sydni needs a larger wheelchair van to fit her supportive equipment, accommodate her caregivers (to safely monitor her seizures) and allow her mom Cathy to safely transport her to all of her countless doctors’ appointments, therapies, and family activities.
Modified vans are not cheap but the family hope that it will support Sydni for the next 10-12 years. So let’s help out this great Southie family! A Go Fund Me page has been started to raise money.
We encourage you to make a donation. Every little bit helps out! Pass it on!
