Help Sebastian Attain Freedom Through Accessibility
Mark and Melissa Forcier are the devoted parents of Sebastian, a bright and easygoing young man living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a progressive neuromuscular disorder causing a lack of motor, pulmonary, and cardiac function. Sebastian is fully dependent on his wheelchair and, like many young adults with Duchenne, faces daily challenges just to get out of the house. He loves traveling, camping, and gaming, but his family’s current transportation situation makes these simple joys difficult and stressful.
Living in a small Texas town, the Forciers have had to homeschool Sebastian because public schools weren’t equipped to support his needs. Mark and Melissa want Sebastian to experience the world as freely as possible, without worrying about whether transportation will be safe or accessible. Right now, every outing comes with challenges and anxiety, limiting the adventures Sebastian deserves.
Mark explains, “My son deserves air, proper restraints, and the ability to go somewhere when he wants without worrying if he’s going to make it. I just want him to be empowered.”
By participating in Jett Foundation’s Accessible Vehicle Fund, the Forcier family will aim to raise half or more of the funds needed for an accessible vehicle. Once they reach their goal, Jett Foundation will step in to cover remaining expenses and coordinate purchase and delivery of the vehicle.
