Help for Quinton

Donation protected
Hello my name is Quinton Curtis. I was diagnosed with ALS May of 2015 and had my first sign of symptoms February of 2014. I under went about a year of testing for the doctors to determine what I didn't have so they could decifcer that is was indeed ALS also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. For those who may not be familiar with this condition ALS is progressive neurodegenerative disease that causes muscle weakness,paralysis, and ultimately takes life due to respiratory failure. Throughout this past year I have experienced many changes in my life. My initial limp forced me to a cane from there I ended up with a walker for mobility and safety of not falling. I currently still use my walker, but I am in desperate need of and electric chair and means of transporting it., I am loosing strength in my hands, arms and legs.  Although my daily tasks are difficult and limited I stay as positive as I can and get through them. With this disease not being limited to just my lower body I face a daily struggle to lift my walker in and out of my back seat to be able to still go places. I dont know what will be the next chnage in my life but I do want to hold on to my independence and mobility as long as I can. I ask if you are a member of my family, my fraternity (Phi Beta Sigma), a soror (Zeta Phi Beta), one of my friends, a co worker past or present, or we crossed paths at some point you provided a donation to improve my quality of life and that of my daughter.  I understand that not everyone can afford a donation but I take prayers and shares too.
