<div><strong><em>“Helping one person might not change the world, but it could change the world for one person”</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"My lovely baby brother, my only sibling, my Daniel. At 20 years of age, he was incredibly fit and healthy. He was an avid footballer and played for Comets, Hemel Aces and Hemel Town youth FC’S. He also played in the pre-academy development centres for Barnet FC and Arsenal FC.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By trade, he is a qualified electrical service engineer. He worked on global and domestic projects:- from Google Offices in Germany to Cross Rail at Bond Street Station, London; Daniel was thriving in the early years of his career.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On June 9th, 2020, my successful, fun-loving, ever-smiling brother took a turn for the worst. What should've been a great gathering with his nearest and dearest turned into a life-changing travesty. His drink was spiked. My brother began suffering a cardiac arrest. His brain and spine were starved of oxygen causing devastating spinal cord injuries. He was in a coma for 25 days and we were told the dreadful news no family should ever have to hear - the diagnosis was he wouldn't survive or (if he was lucky) he would survive with brain damage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Daniel awoke and was tetraplegic.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After 2.5 years in 5 different hospitals, Daniel battled through every eventuality, and he finally returned home in December 2022. He is confined to a wheelchair and relies on 24-hour care. He has restricted movement of his upper body. He is totally dependent, needing to be hoisted in and out of bed and taken to the bathroom.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At 23 years of age, Daniel is not giving up. He has the opportunity to regain the full use of his legs, to stand and walk once again, and to achieve total independence via an organisation called Neurokinex, in Hemel Hempstead, near his home. This will involve a lot of intensive and expensive rehabilitation therapy, but we are determined to help Daniel thrive once again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Only the first six sessions were funded by the NHS after which, each session is costing £63 per hour. Daniel began his rehabilitation on 16th January 2023, to allow his body introduction to movement once again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He has completed his six NHS-funded sessions (one session weekly from 16 Jan'23 to 20 Feb 23) and now a comprehensive rehabilitation program is being compiled by the trainers. This will range from approximately, a minimum of 4 sessions a week initially (whilst Daniel continues to build his strength) to a max of 8 sessions per week - costing from £1,008 to £2,016 per month (£12,096 to £24,192 per annum). He now requires funds so he can continue his rehabilitation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The rehabilitation sessions will last for a minimum of 3 to 4 years and thereafter extend to 5 years and beyond. The gofundme target is being set at an amount to ensure Daniel can focus on booking all his required sessions, without the added worry of finance. He also requires a Motability vehicle as a family car so he can venture out with his mum and carer to his sessions instead of paying for Wheelchair access taxis or being transported in his grandads' standard car, which takes approximately 15 minutes and 2 people to transfer Daniel into and out of the car from his wheelchair and is very painful and uncomfortable for him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is incredibly elated and so full of hope at Neurokinex, whilst being assessed &amp; challenged on varying equipment. Let's keep his spirit and hope alive by ensuring he has the funds to allow for his continuous rehabilitation sessions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is where we need your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Daniel has been through the agonising journey of recovery from a coma to home, he now has the challenging journey of rehabilitation and needs your help financially to complete his final journey. With Neurokinex, he can restart his life at the tender age of 23. He will be empowered to return to full physicality and strength, standing alone on his own two feet once again as well as resuming his previous hobbies and beginning a career.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation will make a world of difference to Daniel for the rest of his life and can be made through this gofundme page for any amount. Even £1 will help towards Daniels' recovery. If you are unable to donate, then you can still be part of Daniels' journey by kindly sharing the link with your contacts, as this would also help immensely and mean so much to me and my little brother.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my brothers' story, and for your support. Please take care.
