Baby's First Wheelchair

Evelyn "Eva" Moore, a one-year-old from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, was diagnosed at four months old with a spinal tumor that caused paralysis below her arms. After eight rounds of chemotherapy, Moore was soon in remission, but she couldn't crawl or walk. So, within two days, her father built a small wheelchair with a cutting board, castor wheels, and a Bumbo chair, all for just $100. Now, Moore can keep up with other toddlers.
