​Thanks to the team at Cecily's Closet as well as the help from the Multi Age Class (MAC) at The Cardiff School, Alex was able to get a room makeover recently. Alex's favorite movie is Star Wars so it will come as no surprise that this was the theme he selected for his new room.  Alex was becoming too heavy to carry up and down stairs so Cecily's Closet helped his family transform their dining room into a new space for Alex to enjoy.

After more than two years of extensive testing, Alex is still undiagnosed for a progressive neurodegenerative disease that slowly over the course of the past 15 months has taken away Alex’s abilities to walk, write, talk, sit, feed himself and even to play and build with his favorite toys.
