Hello Friends:
If you know Brad , you know what a physical, active, harder worker than anyone he has been his entire life!
When he was diagnosed with a rare incurable neurological disease, CBD, or Cortico- Basal Degeneration, ( part of AFTD) which affects the left side of his brain, post open heart in 2021, it took away his ability to use his right hand , his entire right side, ability to walk, now feed himself, dance - which he loved- and most importantly, work operating his beloved Bobcat in his business which he began in 1977. His joy now is rolling (in his wheelchair) down to Bayshore to see people and hand out dog treats. He was even featured on Channel 10 news several months ago.! Unfortunately, he is unable to ride or get into a car and to even go see our son in St. Petersburg or go to a doctor appointment which is necessary at times, we have to hire a wheelchair transport service which can run upwards of $200 plus per ride. It limits him to do anything and especially be able to go look at job sites to run our site works business and be involved when we sorely need his expertise and knowledge, even if he can no longer do the actual work. He is a stoic warrior and NEVER COMPLAINS but I know it would greatly improve his life and give him purpose and a feeling of independence if his able to get out and around whenever he might need or want to, in our own wheelchair van.
With the unexpected and expensive cost of caregiving, which is NOT covered by Medicare, , this is just not possible for us to do on our own right now.
I know it would bring a smile to his face and make a difference to him in life if he just realized the people that care about him by any small contribution you might care to make! Thank you so much for your caring.
