Motorized Wheelchair and Medical Expenses for Dad

Hi Everyone,
This is Pastor Darrell V Freeman, Sr and I wanted to update you on what recently happened to me.
I was in a car accident on September 7, 2018 and continued to have pain in different places. Eventually I found myself losing my balance so I went to my doctor after several visits to the emergency room. My doctor sent me to a series of doctors, and the cardiologist found a couple arteries that were blocked and scheduled me for stent procedure. While they were in there, they recognized 3 “lifeline” arteries that were 90-95% blocked so they scheduled me for an open heart surgery to perform heart bypasses the following day, February 5th. The open heart surgery went well, but the next morning when I should have been walking around, I had no sensation or movement from the chest down. They found that my spinal cord was being compressed, cutting off blood supply/oxygen throughout my body. They performed emergency spinal surgery on February 6th and relieved the pressure. So in essence, I had 2 back to back major surgeries. The doctors say it could take up to a year and a half to know what will return, so now I wait and trust God.
As of now, I am waiting and believing for my miracle. I’m unable to use my hands (my daughter is typing this for me) and have no sensation or movement in my legs (chest down).
Thank you to everyone who has reached out to me and my children showing love and support. I’m unable to use my phone, but they share the love and prayers with me so, thank you. For those who have asked how you can support me at this time, besides prayers, there is a motorized wheel chair that would greatly assist me in my recovery. It will help give me some independence as I have a long road ahead of me. This chair is beyond my means so any financial assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again and God bless.
