Help Lenore's Son Get a Medical Bed

Title:
Help My Paralyzed Son Get a Proper Medical Bed

My name is Lenore, and I’m reaching out as a mother doing everything I can to care for my son, Raycarl Henderson who was tragically paralyzed in 2018 after being hit by a drunk driver — just a few months after he graduated high school.

Since that heartbreaking day, my son has shown more strength and resilience than I could ever describe. He’s young, intelligent, and full of potential — but the reality of living with paralysis has made even the simplest daily needs a constant challenge.

Right now, he is in desperate need of a proper medical bed.

As you can see in the photo, he currently lies in a makeshift setup — surrounded by pillows and foam, doing his best to stay comfortable and prevent pressure sores. But this is not enough. Without the right bed, he is at serious risk of developing painful and dangerous bed sores, infections, and complications that could land him in the hospital again.

A medical-grade hospital bed would:
• Help with safe positioning and improve comfort
• Prevent pressure wounds and skin damage
• Allow him to rest and heal in dignity
• Make it easier for me and others to care for him at home

The cost of this kind of bed is beyond what I can afford alone, but I know that with the help of kind-hearted people, we can make it happen. If you’ve ever loved someone through a medical crisis, you know how overwhelming it can feel — emotionally and financially.

Please consider donating if you’re able, or sharing this with others who might be able to help. No amount is too small. Every act of support brings us closer to giving my son the comfort and care he truly deserves.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you.

With love,
Lenore
