Levi is an eight year old patient who has Cystic Fibrosis and a neuromuscular disease that he has lived with most of his life. Shortly after his birth and the medical complications, his mom left, leaving his dad, who is disabled by severe epilepsy and Levi’s grandma to take care of him. Levi requires the air conditioning to run on high from April thru October. In 2016, the bills piled up so much that grandma and dad didn’t have enough money to pay for the energy bill one month after grandma became ill from kidney disease and couldn’t work anymore. The Extra Step was able to cover the energy bill so that grandma could continue to focus on getting better and watching over her two boys.
