The community in Key Largo Florida are being praised by Jessica Pena who is the mother of five year old Blake Pena who suffers from cerebral palsy was happy that did not have a special swing for Blake to have as his own.
Jessica Pena used the power of Facebook to make a request to her community to contact the local officials at Monroe County to see if they could install a special swing at the Key Largo Park for her son to ride since he is not able to enjoy swinging on a regular swing.
Thanks to Monroe County official Robert Glassmer and other employees in the city were able to grant Blake his wish to have his own swing that he can enjoy his free time with his name on the swing.
Blake, his mother and the family babysitter Rebecca Rowe are grateful that the county officials answered their request to have their son enjoy rising on a swing at a park that he can call his own now.

I wish more communities would do this for children with special challenges.

I am sure that other children with special needs will be able to use them.
