Miami Herald Wish Book: Stories That Open Hearts

Posted CHS In the Field, Press Room in on

This time last year, Traivon Paris was spending his days in his wheelchair in a stiflingly hot Brownsville home — the early and most painful months after a dirt bike accident left him with a traumatic brain injury, barely able to walk and uncertain about his future.

Last year, Miami Herald readers gave cash and gifts to Wish Book that helped more than 750 people. Already a few donations have been received this season.
