Project by Bonney Lake students helps give disabled children mobility (The News Tribune)

Sidnee Petter knows how important it is for kids with disabilities to be able to move around easily, especially if they’re in a wheelchair.

The senior at Bonney Lake High School works through her church with kids who are experiencing disabilities.

“I work with a child that can only move one side — that’s the only side that works, everything else is limp,” Petter said in an interview with The Puyallup Herald on Thursday. “Seeing that kid grow, having the mobility of one side and being able to have control of that one side makes such a difference in that child’s life.”

It’s those kids Petter and her peers hope to help through a project aimed at giving mobility to patients in the Children’s Therapy Unit at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma.
