Bringing Holiday Cheer to Two Special Brothers | A Dream Team Surprise

Jesse Trujillo is one of a handful of Utahns to be diagnosed with Fredreich’s ataxia, a rare genetic disorder that causes one’s muscles to deteriorate.  

Jesse and his brother Tre have a very special bond. When Tre decided it was time to move from home to his own apartment, he suggested that Jesse move with him. Jesse has been using a wheelchair for several years, so finding a handicapped-accessible apartment was a top priority. They soon found one, but it came with a rather expensive price tag.  

During the day Tre works in construction to help pay all their bills, at night he cares for his brother.  

Seeing how hard her sons are working to be independent, their mom, Kristen Searle reached out to the Dream Team to see if they’d be willing to make the holidays a bit brighter for her two boys. Watch above to see the full surprise unfold!
