Callie Colwick’s New Wheelchair
Donación protegida
The day after Christmas in 2016, Callie’s life was forever changed when she went into septic shock while fighting to save her unborn son, Quinn.
In the months that followed,
she had both of her legs amputated below the knee along with her left index finger and thumb.
She spent over a year in the ICU wing of the hospital and the following six months in rehab. She is finally back home with her family and since returning home has traveled, started a blog, spoken at several events and truly brings hope and light to everyone she meets.
Here’s where we need your help...
She had a custom made wheel chair built for her, but the insurance company denied her claim. Her current wheelchair is borrowed. Because it doesn’t have guards around the wheels, it destroys her clothes. Not just that, she can’t push it around other than on a flat surface.
This woman has dealt with more adversity in 2 years than most experience in a lifetime. Through all of this, her faith and positive outlook remains unshakable. I know if we all come together and do a little, we can bless this woman and her family with her own custom wheelchair. I know God will open doors to make this possible!
Thank you for taking the time to read Callie’s story. Let’s get this woman her wheelchair! No one is more deserving than she is.
UPDATE:
As of 5pm central time, we have met our goal to fund her wheel chair! God is so good!
But I know God isn’t done showing off! I would love to provide this sweet family with money to go towards medical bills, rehabilitation, making her house wheelchair accessible, and just LIFE!
I appreciate all of your support and reposting her story! Let’s make it happen!
