I never thought I would need to create a GoFundMe, but here I am, asking for help. My name is donald, and I am 66 years old and living with a disability that has changed every part of my life. In 1977, I was diagnosed with a cyst in my cervical spine that was damaging the nerve connections between my brain and muscles. I had surgery to relieve the pressure, but it was not successful, and my condition continued to progress over the years. Eventually, I had to stop working. Today, I cannot walk without a walker, and I have very limited use of my hands. My medical file describes my condition as incomplete quadriplegia.

The reason I am reaching out is because my bathtub and shower setup has become dangerous for me. Getting in and out is frightening, and I have already fallen multiple times. About a year and a half ago, I fell and broke five ribs. More recently, I fell again and may have suffered a slight concussion. Because my one usable arm is too weak, I cannot catch myself when I fall. I simply cannot afford to replace my bathtub with a safe, accessible shower on my own.

Your support would help me make this necessary change to my home so I can bathe safely and reduce the risk of more injuries. I am humbly asking for any donation you can give. If you are not able to donate, please consider sharing my fundraiser. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, support, and prayers.
