The family of Cooper Roberts, the Highland Park boy paralyzed during a mass shooting, is trying to raise $2 million to buy or build a new home that is accessible for the wheelchair-bound 8-year-old.
“Our entire family has a long road of healing and recovery ahead but we will face each day with bravery, hope, love and a belief in the best in people,” Cooper’s mom Keely Roberts said in a letter released to the media Monday. “We can do so in confidence because we are reminded every day of this through your acts of kindness and love that the world is a remarkable place, filled with great people who go out of their way to care for others.”
