Help Jesse-James raise money for an outdoor hoist

Donation protected


This is Jesse-James he is 10 years old & my name is Zoe, I am his mother & full-time carer.  Due to complications during my labor, Jesse-James was brought into the world via an emergency cesarian. When he was born, he was taken to a special care unit for an hour to be thoroughly checked over & I was told he was absolutely fine. However, unfortunately when Jesse-James was 6 months old a health visitor noticed that he wasn't focusing on objects as he should.  He was sent to see a pediatrician & was then sent to have a CT scan in order to diagnose the problem. I was then later told that my son had severe brain damage.

After numerous tests, it was discovered that Jesse-James has epilepsy, cerebral palsy, microcephaly, hip structure, gastrostomy, visually impaired, scoliosis, severe learning difficulties, forelimb motor disorder, sialorrhea & he needs a feeding tube for his medication. 

As Jesse-James grows older he is is becoming too heavy for me to lift out of his wheelchair. I live alone & am his sole carer. To help with this I have an indoor hoist planted to the floor to get him in & out of his bed. Last year he had an operation on his hip due to a dislocated bone & because of this, he needs physiotherapy to help repair it. However, due to the covid-19 pandemic & him being at high risk, we haven't been able to venture outside. 

What he is in desperate need of is an outside hoist built into a hot tub as this would help with his muscles & physio. He spends most of his time in his wheelchair as he is unable to walk. I will be getting the equipment from Dolphin mobility LTD & I have been quoted 14,000 for the hot tub, hoist, delivery & fitting. I believe this is absolutely necessary for my child's physical & mental health, I just cannot afford it as a single mother on my own. Thank you for those who donate, anything will help, but if you cannot donate please share this post to others.
