His father, Tony Alfano, explained how he has retrofitted Anthony’s wheelchair into different Halloween costume designs each year.
This year, Anthony will be his favorite game show, “Wheel Of Fortune.”
Inside Edition, spoke to the family and Anthony’s mom, Deanna Alfano said, “We watch it every night in our house with Anthony. He loves hearing the alphabet, but he has a love for most game shows.”
To make the costume, the Alfanos used a PVC board, a foam wheel and LED lights so the costume lights up in the dark.
“I think he deserves more, so that’s why we go all out with this,” Tony said, adding that he wanted to make his son feel special on Halloween.
