New Hyde Park Fundraiser for Boy, 10, With Fatal Genetic Disorder

Members of the community will be able to support a 10-year-old boy who suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at an upcoming fundraiser.

Ty Patrick Flood’s fatal genetic disorder has caused his mother Beth to leave her job to take care of Ty and his younger sisters.

Taking care of Ty with his condition is not only expensive, but it’s also a physical burden.

Ty’s home is in need of modifications to be made wheelchair accessible and Ty is in need of a vehicle that can safely transport a motorized wheelchair.

A fundraiser to support Ty’s family will be held on Friday, July 10 at TD Bank, 100 Hillside Ave.

Residents can bring in their change and the bank will match a portion of the coins counted at their Penny Arcade to help the Flood family with their finances.
