Help 9yo Micah - Paralyzed by Spinal Injury
Donation protected
Please help the Bartholomew family of St. George’s, Grenada pay for the medical care of their 9-year-old son, Micah, who suffered a catastrophic, life-changing injury.
On January 30, 2020, Micah was admitted to Grenada General Hospital with a lesion on his spinal cord and paraplegia. Due to the severity of his situation, he was flown to a hospital in Miami, FL for emergency surgery and diagnostic care. The spinal cord injury has left Micah without bladder or bowel function as well as paralysis in his legs and torso. He will need specialized care, equipment and spinal cord rehabilitative treatment in order to recover and regain movement in his lower body.
The cost of physical and occupational therapy is exorbitant, $38,000 for a month of therapy, with insurance covering only $4,000, a fraction of the bill.
Just before being hospitalized, Micah was enjoying life as a vibrant, healthy young boy, enjoying school with his friends, practicing the drums, and playing with his siblings. Please donate today to give Micah a shot at regaining mobility.
We appreciate you taking the time to learn more about Micah’s story and doing your part to help. Please share with friends and family.
**DISCLAIMER** GoFundMe does not allow the transfer of funds to a Grenadian bank account . Therefore, as a friend of the family, I will be responsible for transferring all donations directly to the Bartholomew family. All proceeds will go towards paying for Micah’s medical care.
