Handicapped Accessible Home for Juan

Donation protected
Hello, I'm Juan S. I'm 13 years old and growing bigger everyday. I have severe cerebral palsy, and many other complications with my health. I will always be in a wheel chair and need my nurse to help me get around the house or bathe me. I have a nurse 10 hours a day, 7 days a week because my mom can no longer lift me. Due to how big I've gotten over the years, it's caused my mom to get herniated disks in her back and her arms and legs go numb because of all the pressure I have put on her back. She isn't a canidate for surgery at this point because sometimes my nurses can't come in and she will still have to lift me to bathe me or change me. My mom refuses to let either of my older sister lift me or transport me from my bed into my wheel chair because I'm taller and weigh more than my 18 year old sister, also my mom doesn't want my 15 year old sister to lift me and injure herself because she's still in school, we don't want her to miss out on her education. So, I started this fund page in hope to finish the house my grandfather started for me. He is unable to finish my future home because he passed away in a freak accident back in 2006. You see, the home I live in now with my mom and two older sisters is far too small for me. The doors aren't wide enough for my wheel chair and my bathroom isn't big enough for a lift for me to get bathed. All of my equipment can't fit in my room, so I have to store some of my things in my older sisters room. Two years ago my mom went to LoveHomes in hope to get my home finished up but they had asked for $150,000 and to put the land our family owned up for collateral. My mom had to deny the offer because we didn't have the money and my grandmother doesn't want to lose the land she owns because it's the last thing she has left of my grandfather. Any help will be highly appreciated, and I want to thank you so much in advance as well as taking the time out of your day to read my story.
