HILLSDALE, MI (WTVB) – An Amish family in Camden is getting some help for two children with Muscular Dystrophy thanks to the Children’s Special Needs Funds from the State of Michigan.
Personal Health and Disease Prevention Director Yvonne Atwood told the Branch-Hillsdale-Saint Joseph Community Health Agency Board of Health in Hillsdale on Thursday that they helped the family apply for the funds and they were awarded the $14,000 needed to have a handicap buggy built for them.
Atwood says it is lower to the ground so the children do not have to step so high to get in. It also has a box in the back to store wheelchairs.
She added the family has been notified the construction is complete and they’re going to be receiving the specially built buggy in the next couple of weeks.
