A Family’s Struggle

“It’s been really hard, but the hardest thing is dealing with my brothers that have seizures a lot, and I have to be the one to step up and help them,” said 15-year-old Madeline.

Madeline’s father recently lost a leg due to diabetes, and her mother, Alicia, is the primary caregiver, juggling hospital visits while trying to stay employed.

A Gift of Joy

On Monday, the family received a much-needed respite from their challenges. More than 20 gifts were presented to them, courtesy of Chicago Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards in partnership with the Thomas Law Office.

A Day of Joy

The children’s gifts included a computer, an iPad, soccer balls, cleats, and gift cards.

Edwards also spent time signing mini footballs, creating a moment of joy for the family, all of it reminding them that brighter days are ahead.
