Tupelo boy with cerebral palsy works with community to raise money for wheelchair swings
SUMMARY: Tupelo's Veterans Memorial Park introduced two new wheelchair-accessible swings funded by a community initiative led by 12-year-old Caleb Rodgers, who has cerebral palsy. Inspired by his own swing built by his father, Caleb motivated the community and raised over $22,000, far surpassing the goal for one swing and allowing the purchase of two, each priced around $6,000. The swings, designed for all ages and abilities, were inaugurated in December with Caleb and his family present for the celebratory ribbon-cutting event. The project showcased the community's united support and contribution to inclusivity.
