Mother Invents A Device That Enables Special Needs Children To Stand And Walk For The First Time

Debby Elnatan had a brilliant idea, one with a feel-good ripple effect powerful enough to engulf the entire globe. Elnatan’s young son, Rotem, suffers from cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair. Of course, this music therapist’s one wish is for her son to walk. Just shy of working a miracle, Elnatan did the next best thing — she designed something miraculous. Introducing “Upsee,” a support harness that allows young and disabled children to stand upright attached to an adult and, in effect, walk. This Israeli mother launched an international search in order to pinpoint a company to mass produce her design. The company she landed with is Lecky, a manufacturer based in Northern Ireland that has a history of producing equipment to enable special needs children. Watching these infants stand and experience a simulated walking experience is beyond heartwarming. This is a mother who not only went above and beyond out of love for her son, but broke new and innovative ground for special needs children worldwide. SHARE THIS INCREDIBLE VIDEO TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS
