Dad seeks help for son born with cerebral palsy

#JamaicaGleaner #Norwood #StJames #CerebralPalsy
MARCH 9, 2022: A pathway within the volatile community of Paradise, Norwood, St James, leads to an unfinished house in which resides a young, single father, Dennis Williams, in a one-bedroom structure with his nine-year-old son, Devonte Williams, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth.
Thirty-four-year-old Williams, a delivery man who also does bartending, is desperately making every effort to make his son as comfortable as he can.
If you want to help Williams and his son Devonte, you can contact him at 876-492-9696.
