Chicago Law Firm Contributes to the Skylar Henkes Foundation

CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Beam Legal Team, a Chicago-based law firm specializing in birth injury cases, is pleased to announce a $25,000 donation to the Skylar Henkes Foundation. Founded in memory of Skylar, a vibrant 3-year-old girl with cerebral palsy who loved spending time outdoors and gardening, the foundation aims to create a more inclusive and accessible community for individuals with disabilities in southern West Virginia. It carries on Skylar's spirit by offering fresh-cut flowers to the community and providing essential resources like adaptive equipment and home accessibility modifications.

“This generous donation from Beam Legal Team has more than doubled our funding for the first grant period,” said Autumn Henkes, board president of the Skylar Henkes Foundation. “This will allow us to help children like Adam, a young boy who was denied coverage by insurance for a Rifton activity chair. We were able to provide funding for Adam to receive this essential equipment. The chair will give Adam proper positioning, allowing him to focus on both schoolwork and playtime activities. Beam Legal Team fights for justice and genuinely cares about the well-being of children facing disabilities.”

"Skylar's story deeply touched our firm," said Jack Beam, founder and partner at Beam Legal Team. "We see the daily struggles families face as a result of birth injuries, and we believe every child deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilling life. We are honored to support the Skylar Henkes Foundation's mission of creating a world where children like Skylar can thrive."

The Beam Legal Team’s commitment to the community is unwavering. Whether supporting global initiatives like Doctors Without Borders or local endeavors like the Greater Chicago Food Depository, a deep-rooted belief in advocacy and service drives the firm’s actions. The recent donation to the Skylar Henkes Foundation is a testament to this commitment as the law firm strives to create a more inclusive and accessible community for individuals with disabilities.
