Boy with genetic disorder wishes for wheelchair van for Christmas


HEPBURN TOWNSHIP, PA (WNEP/CNN) —  Thanksgiving is still a few weeks away but an 8-year-old boy from Lycoming County with a rare genetic disorder has already started his Christmas list, and on it is a new wheelchair-accessible van.

Giovanni Hamilton is a second grader at Hepburn Lycoming Primary School, and earlier this week he came home with a special Christmas wish assignment.

He didn’t ask for toys. Instead, he wrote a letter asking for a wheelchair-accessible van. It’s a $40,000 purchase his family can’t afford, but there’s now a page set up to help.
