In addition to the creativity needed to conceive and execute these special costumes, there is an inspiring and uplifting passion that is evident when you meet the parents and family members involved with these homemade creations.

Sommariva spent time with 6-year-old Jake Schell and his mom and stepdad. Jake has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair, but that didn't stop his parents from trying to create Halloween costumes that would by the envy of his classmates.
In previous years, Andy Schell has designed and built a fire truck and a pirate ship that would disguise Jake's wheelchair. For 2014, Jake's chair has been transformed into a very impressive tank.
