Jordan a person that changed lives

By:Hatem El Hage
Jordan a 16 year old male helped children that had no feet. He changed loots of people’s lives. He made fundraiser and loots more to help children give them legs, but now he was passing in the same direction. One day he was going with his parents to scuba dive in Florida with their boat, and he put his fins on and he jumped to the water to check out the fishes, unfortunately he fell were the outboard motor is and he hit his legs on them. "I looked down -- my black fins were gone, and all I saw was red just everywhere," He had no more legs. Now he had to help himself get new legs.
How Jordan has changed peoples life? Jordan has been making fundraisers by selling bracelets, making charity golf tournaments and cook outs. He fundraisd more than 400,000 dollars just for helping kids with no legs and helping kids with no homes till they are 18. This is a very important thing in Jordans life helping all these kids and changing their every day life.
One of these kids is Noah Parton, he is 6 years old and has only one leg. Noah couldent run or play like any other kids and even day to day activities were very hard for him. "It was hard to put him in the car because his leg stuck out straight. And I'd have my seat up as far as it would go, and it would still hit the back of the seat," The Jordan foundation changed his life. He can now run and play like other kids, he can now do what he dreamt to do, whatever you name he does. He loves to climb stairs, tries to ride bicycles and go to the park.
