Dennis Williams is a single father who lives in a one bedroom with his nine-year-old son Devonte Williams who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth. At 34-year-old, Mr. Williams continues to do bartending and works as a delivery man to help support himself and his child. In an interview with a Jamaican newspaper (The Gleaner), he expressed his emotion:

“Right now, just talking about this is giving me cold bumps. This is my one and only child and it scares me when he has seizures. I can only sleep with one eye open because of how fearful I am that something will happen to him. He gets scared, too, and would behave frantically in the house”

Mr. Williams also reported that he spent over $40,000-$50,000-JMD monthly to take care of his child. The father desperately needs a disability bath chair so he can shower Devonte with ease.
