Georgia Home Depot workers surprise family by building walker for 2-year-old boy

When Christian and Justin Moore visited a Cedartown Home Depot last week with their 2-year-old son Logan for some guidance, they were floored by the workers' generosity.

According to CNN, the couple were on the hunt for PVC pipe to build a homemade walker for Logan, who has hypotonia.

Hypotonia, sometimes called floppy muscle syndrome, makes it difficult for Logan to sit upright, walk and maintain stability. Though a physical therapist suggested the Moores purchase a gait trainer to help, Christian Moore told CNN she didn’t think insurance would cover the cost.

But they found a YouTube tutorial for a do-it-yourself option.

When the family arrived at Home Depot, they showed the video to employees and asked for help with the list of supplies.

Then “they started getting the parts together and told us they would put it together and would not charge us for it,” the Georgia mother told CNN. “They told us to go get ice cream and come back in an hour.”

When the family saw the finished product, “it took everything I had not to cry because it hasn't been an easy road for my son,” she  said.

Employee Jeffrey Anderson wrote about the encounter on Facebook, sharing photos of a smiling Logan walking his bright orange walker around the store.

Hypotonia is the most common motor disorder in newborns. According to Boston Children's Hospital, it can be caused by a variety of conditions, including Down syndrome, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy and more.
