WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A boy in need will be able to get crucial medical care thanks to a grant from the Mary Alice Fortin Foundation.

Clinics Can Help used the grant to help seven families each get $7,000 towards medical care.

The Perez family in West Palm Beach was one of those who received the financial support. Iker Perez is a 3-year-old boy born with hydrocephalus, a neurological condition. With the help of the grant, Iker's family can now afford to take him to a neurologist.
