A couple of fundraisers will be taking place in Ingersoll next month to help purchase a new wheelchair accessible van for 4-year-old Lincon Bechard.
INGERSOLL - Save your empties as a bottle drive is happening in June in the Town of Ingersoll for 4-year-old Lincon Bechard.
Lincon is a happy little boy, but his life changed drastically when he had a stroke, brain injury at 14 months old and had to get an emergency decompressive craniectomy. He spent 2 months in the ICU and 1 month in rehabilitation and at first they said he wouldn't make it, and if he did, he wouldn't have much brain capacity.
Lincon currently lives with severe disabilities and is in a wheel chair full time. He has severe epilepsy, is legally blind and hemiplegia on the right side.
His family is trying to raise funds so they can purchase a wheelchair accessible van for his 5th birthday on October 13th.
The bottle drive is happening from June 7th to the 20th and they will be collecting bottles at Lincon's home at 345 King Street West.
You can also purchase an I wear green t-shirt from R&B Creations online here and $10 will go to support the family. June is Brain Injury Awareness Month and Lincon's mom, Chloe Ribaric is asking everyone to share why they wear green on the Love for Lincon Facebook page.
