One local mother founded ChangingSA and helped bring a mobile changing unit to the Stock Show & Rodeo to help more families like hers all across the Alamo City.
– San Antonio is host to many amazing events from the Stock Show & Rodeo to Fiesta and there is seemingly always something to do for families. But what about the thousands of people who have disabilities?
“It was important for my boy to be able to be there and celebrate with his mama and his sisters as well,” Traci Lewand said.“He’s a paraplegic and he’s also non-verbal and blind,” Lewand said. “We are a city that loves to party and so does everyone else. This provides families of younger children the opportunity for both parents or caregivers to come out and for all of the siblings to be together cohesively” Lewand said.“There are about 12,000 individuals in San Antonio that we know have some kind of ambulatory or developmental disability that requires diapering over the age of three,” Melanie Cawthon, co-founder and executive director disABILITYsa said.
