For Graham and his wife, life made an immediate and extremely quick turn they never anticipated when their daughter Mikayla was born with Dandy Walker Syndrome. New to parenting and unsure of this path, it became increasingly important for them to arm themselves with as much information as they could to begin raising their precious newborn baby girl.
Graham and his wife knew they needed to make some changes to their life to better help them care for Mikayla. As their precious daughter grew, Tucker’s House was just the organization to help their growing family, assisting them with making necessary home modifications that gave the entire household a smoother routine that accommodated Mikayla’s physical disabilities. Through generous donors, Tucker’s House helps numerous families in remodeling and constructing these much-needed updates to their homes, giving those with disabilities the chance to live a more full life with their loving families.
Tucker’s House gave Mikayla and her entire family a vital lift that they all needed. With important home remodels and modifications, their routine became more balanced and cohesive, giving them all such valuable moments with Mikalya that they didn’t have time for before. Graham knew that this organization was so special from the very beginning. Through the years, he stayed in contact with them, helping as he could, and eventually, he was offered a permanent opportunity to lead the team at Tucker’s House. His “why” has always been very clear and his dedication to helping others in the position that he and his sweet family faced is a wonderful gift to those who need this important assistance.
Sweet Mikayla’s life was cut short in 2018 at the young age of 5, however, her indelible spirit lives on each day Graham steps foot in his office at Tucker’s House. The gift that Mikayla brought to her family is one that none of them will ever take for granted and her loving nature and her presence for the moments she lived will forever be a part of Tucker's House.
