My Story- by Max

Hi, I am Max and I am 5 1/2 years old and go to school at Brown Elementary.  I got a real tough start when I was born. Things seemed fine at first…but after 2 weeks, I ended up in the St. Vincent's Children' Hospital with viral encephalitis. The swelling in my brain did a lot of damage and my family wasn't sure I would even get to stay…but God has a plan for me. He gave me this great smile that can light up a room and warm a heart and told me to share it with as many people as I can. So that's what I try to do. It is not always an easy job… I have to take lots of treatments and medicines, but I do my best to do my job. I can't walk or talk….but my family can understand my needs. I could use some help from you too. My family and friends have started a fund to help get me a wheelchair accessible van. We are planning lots of activities and sales in the next few months. You can find some information on my Nana's web site www.sallysuiter.com or call my Nana (Sally) at 317-892-4091. All $$$ raised will go into a fund at the State Bank of Lizton in Indiana for my van. I am growing and it is getting hard for Mommy and Nana ( Sally) to get me from my wheelchair into the car seat so this will be a big help to all of us! Thanks for your help! Oh, and if you need a smile….just let me know and I will do my job!
