Hunter's Prosthetic leg replacement
Donation protected
To those of you who don't know me, my name is Hunter Nagar and I am 25 years old. I was born with a congenital birth defect that caused my lower limbs not to develop. I had my feet amputated when I was one year old, and I was fortunate enough to have been treated as a child through the generosity of the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. Now that I am an adult, there are zero programs for financial assistance with prosthetic limb replacement.
I do not qualify for any type of Social Security benefits or Disability benefits. Now that I am an adult, replacing my legs every few years is an out of pocket expense and as you can imagine is quite expensive. My parents provided my last pair of legs three years ago, and due to wear and tear and daily living, it's now time for a new pair of legs. My parents have always been there to help me but they are no longer capable of providing the same financial assistance, and I can't rely on them forever.
Although I have medical health benefits which cover my prosthetic legs, I am still responsible for my deductible and the remaining 20% that my insurance doesn't cover, along with additional expenses for supplies. I am not a lazy person, I earned my college degree and work full time as a Welder/fabricator and am a musician. I am not asking for handouts, but could really use some assistance in reaching my financial needs in order for me to get my new legs. Asking for help is really difficult for me, but there is no way I can come up with these funds in time by myself.
I do not know how much longer my current legs will last, and I need to replace them by December 2016 because of my deductible and plan year ending. I thank anyone and everyone who is willing to contribute to my fund. I assure you that your money is not going to be wasted or squandered. Anything you can do will help no matter how small of a donation. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
