Ryder Rides The Bus

Like most kids in his Rhode Island town, five-year-old Ryder Kilam eagerly waits for the bus every morning before school.
- Ryder is a wheelchair user with a host of other medical complications. When he began struggling to wait outside in the harsh New England winter, Ryder's parents reached out to their local community for help – and they delivered in a big way.
🛠 One cool school... Dan McKena, the construction teacher at Westerly High School, recruited three of his classes to build a custom shelter for Ryder.
- After three weeks of hard work by the students, the shelter was delivered directly to his front door.
"The family sent me a photo of Ryder in the bus stop and his grin, his smile... that one photo that the family sent me made it all worth it," Dan shared with WJAR .
