Ryder is 3 years old. Has had a Liver Transplant and has developmental delay from multiple hospitalizations. We gave Ryder an iPad, Case, and $100 itunes gift card. Here is a testimonial from Ryder's Dad, Cody: "Ryder received his Ipad nearly a month ago, and we have seen a lot of improvement. He has been using multiple apps with therapy to help identify his colors, shapes, and animals. With a very short attention span, we have noticed with using the apps, he has mantained a longer focus period. All in all, Ryder has benefited tremendously from the ipad and it's apps! He uses it every day!"
Here is a letter that Christian, who just received an iPad from Carly's Cause, was able to write to Santa Clause with the device. See Christian is almost completely immobile, but can type. I wanted to share this letter with you all to warm you up for the holidays!
Dear Santa Claus,
First of all,I would like some cool shirts.
As well,I would like some nice chess checkerboard set.
Finally,I would like some sand from Brookstone, a box to put it in, and tools to shape it.
I have been a good boy I really do think I deserve these three things because:
1) I am very patient
2) I work hard at school
3) I don't interrupt people.
Excited for you to come and visit and bring me presents.
Sincerely,
Christian
