A new wheelchair for calvin

Donation protected
At the young age of 26 Calvins’ whole life was changed when he had an encounter with a drunk driver… The driver walked away, but Calvin would never walk again!  

Being a quadriplegic would be enough for any one of us to want to stop living… but Calvin has done the opposite.  I have never seen anyone enjoy life more than he does!  He is the most uplifting, generous, kind hearted and loyal friend!   Calvin would give anyone that needed the shirt off his back and right now Calvin needs our help!

They say when it rains it pours and unfortunately thats the case for Calvin right now.  His dad had a stroke and is now not able to lift Calvin and get him out of bed in the morning.  His car that had been modified for his wheelchair just died… and his wheelchair (which is the only way he can have a remotely normal life) has died.  When I was with Calvin this weekend he felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders trying to figure out how to get a new wheelchair, car and a medical lift.  

We may not be able to help Calvin walk again… but we can sure try to help him raise money so that he buy the specialized medical equipment necessary for him to survive.    He would NEVER ask for help… so I’m asking for him!!!

Our goal is to at least help Calvin cover the insurance gap.  In reality he is facing over 100k in costs!  I know I can’t raise that, but I figure we can at the very least get him his wheel chair and help have his car modified so he can continue to make it to his job and work everyday.  

SO LETS GET CLAVIN A WHEELCHAIR!!!  ANYTHING WILL HELP!  AND PLEASE REPOST THIS SO THAT WE CAN REACH A WIDER AUDIENCE.  

HIS VENMO IS @calvin-woolley if you would like to donate that way
