Broken school elevator forces student with muscular dystrophy to climb stairs for weeks

For 11-year-old Gabe Gonzalez, every step is a challenge.

The sixth grader has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a rare genetic condition that causes muscles to break down over time.

At William Ziegler Elementary School in Northeast Philadelphia, those challenges have been compounded by a broken elevator that has left him climbing stairs to reach his second-floor classroom for more than a month. #school
