Keegan's Mom Drives Him To Every Appointment In A Van Held Together By Steel Bars And Prayer

The wheelchair van is rusted through. The whole undercarriage is falling apart. A family friend welded steel bars underneath just to make it safe enough to drive.

But she drives it anyway. Because Keegan has medical appointments. Therapy appointments. And more than anything, he loves to go for long rides.

Keegan is twelve years old. He lives with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, hydrocephalus, Chiari malformation, scoliosis. And that's not even the full list. He uses his eyes to communicate. His mom is his full-time caregiver. She can't work. It's just the two of them.

When asked how she pays the bills, she paused. Local churches. Nonprofits. Food banks. They find ways.

A new wheelchair-accessible van costs up to $100,000. An impossible number for a single mom who gave up everything to care for her son.

Her dream is simple. She wants to take Keegan to California to see the ocean and visit her aunt. She's never been able to go.

When asked what she prays for, she didn't ask for anything for herself. Just comfort and joy for Keegan. After twelve years of fighting, she says he's finally happy. She just wants to keep it that way.
