Born with Angelman Syndrome, a condition that affects her ability to walk, Natalia relies on a wheelchair for mobility. To ensure she can navigate safely, Abel voluntarily sweeps the gravel off the sidewalk leading to the playground during recess.
"I do sweep off the gravels and the rocks," Abel proudly told WJHL, demonstrating his commitment to making the playground accessible for Natalia.
