Quadriplegic Al Neumann needs help

Donation protected
Al Neumann, a lifelong resident of Troy, MI was injured in a diving accident in 1991 deeming him a quadriplegic. He now has to depend on others to do everything for him. Besides the physical & psychological challenges Al conquers, a more pressing obstacle continues to mount. Costs associated with life as a quadriplegic are astronomical. Many bills and necessities are not covered by insurance. For example, a caregiver for just a few hours a day, costs over $1,500 a month. In the last 18 months Al has also been hospitalized or put on bed rest several times resulting in lost wages.

 Al needs your help! One of the largest & most expensive items needed for Al is his hydraulic lift van. Al depends on this van to make it to work and it is in desperate need of a new lift and several repairs as it is becoming unreliable and at times unsafe. Al is also in need of a new wheelchair. The good news is that his insurance just approved him for a wheelchair; however his co-pay will total $10,000 - $15,000. To help with van, the wheelchair and medical expenses we have set a goal to raise $40,000. A fundraising event is set for February 28, 2015 but are trying this website as another means of trying to help. We really need your help.  This is a big goal and we can reach that goal, but only with YOUR help.

Those of you that know Al, know he never wants help, so we’re asking for him. Please find it in your heart to help. You can donate an item to auction, promote or advertise in the program  or donate cash for expenses (checks can be made to Al Neumann and in the memo marked for ‘Deposit Only’ and sent to 2844 Livernois, P.O. Box 143, Troy, MI 48099).

On behalf of Al, his family & friends, we thank you in advance for  your support!
