Fourteen-year-old Xavier Young is hopping into a new set of wheels.
"I can see it in his eyes," said his mom, Courtney Holmes Levingston. "Because usually you have to prompt him to get him up. Especially because he's kind of lazy, he's his momma's child. But seeing him jump up and get into the chair so easily, so readily, lets me know that he's ready for the new transition."
When the Eaton Fire swept through Altadena, Young and his family lost everything, including his school and home.
Since then, Young has had to deal with a lot of changes and mobility limitations.
Thanks to the Los Angeles Trial Lawyers' Charities and the Exceptional Children's Foundation, Young gets a new $10,000 wheelchair designed to meet his needs.
"He can go on the field in this chair. He can do everything. His feet have leg rests," said Arielle Tinero-Felman, a special education teacher who's been working with Young for the last three years. "You know, just the small things that we don't think about, this chair has. And so, it'll be amazing for him. He'll be able to do everything along with his peers now."
"We ended up raising $100,000 total for our fire relief efforts, and this is a portion of what those efforts will go to," said Angela Belty, a board member of the Los Angeles Trial Lawyer's Charities.
Holmes Levingston says it takes a village, and after the fire, friends came together to buy a temporary wheelchair for Young. Now, her village continues to help her rebuild the life they once had.
"That chair got us by, and thank God for the angels we have that blessed us with it," said Holmes Levingston. "But this is what he needs."
The good news doesn't stop there.
Holmes Levingston says they should be able to start rebuilding their home in Altadena in about a week. The piece of property has been passed down through their family since 1952.
