Kelly Kessler

For the past four years Kelly has been attending Moorpark Community College in an effort to improve herself. This was all to support her son and two twins, Shiloh and Tristan, who are both wheelchair-bound paraplegics. They have cerebral palsy which was incurred shortly after birth when both suffered a brain bleed.

Summer temperatures in the valleys around Los Angeles average in the mid-90° range + so a house without air conditioning was not sustainable for her children. Kelly has a grown daughter whose husband works for West Coast Air Conditioning in Oxnard as an installer. Kelly found our foundation through the Christopher Reeve website and requested assistance with air-conditioning. As she was renting the home, the foundation contacted the owners about the possibility of portable air conditioners. The owners gave their approval, so the foundation worked with West Coast Air Conditioning for the provision and set up of one window unit and several portable air conditioners.
