Shane's Heroes

During infancy, Shane Popiny was diagnosed with having an ischemic stroke in the frontal lobe of his brain, and was later identified as having cerebral palsy, which affects the entire right side of his body.

The Popiny family drives a standard minivan, without any handicap capabilities, making it difficult for Shane's parents to get him to his appointments at CHOP, therapy, and school.

The Hope for Hero Shane GoFundMe was launched to help raise money for the family to help them transform their minivan for their son, along with a home that can better assist his everyday needs. Right now the Popiny family lives in an apartment, which does not fully accommodate Shane's needs.
