Get to know a kid who is one in a million! Riley, our CMN Miracle Child of the month! Learn his story, see his family, and root him on!

Say Hello To CMN’s Miracle Child, Riley!

Riley has been working with the amazing staff at Children’s Village since he was four years old. Being diagnosed with Autism, Potocki-Lupski Syndrome, as well as Charcot-Marie-Tooth Syndrome, he has not let any of that slow him down.

Riley feels comfortable and is loved and adored by all the staff who have worked with him through occupational therapy, physical therapy, and his behavioral visits.

Riley has also seen cardiologists as well as genetics specialists through the clinic to help him live his best life, and he has.

A funny young man (seen above with his family), he’s kind and empathetic and is always there with a smile and laugh. When it comes to some of his favorites, the color green is high on his list, as is his love of cartoons and, believe it or not, Jeopardy!
