Help Tina return home with Medical set up

Donation protected
In early December of 2020 my sister Tina walked in to the hospital not knowing that she wouldn't walk out. Within 48 hours of being there she had lost all feeling from her breast down. An MRI was performed and they found a large abscess that was crushing her spine. This abscess caused her to have a spinal stroke and she was rushed to Trillium Hospital for emergency spinal surgery. After hours of surgery she was moved to the ICU to start recovering. It was touch and go for the first 2 weeks but she was starting to stabilize medically. She was moved to the spinal floor to start rehabilitation but within the first week there they determined that the chance of her ever regaining feeling was not good. Tina spent 2 months in the hospital trying to get strong enough to be moved to the Lyndhurst Spinal Rehab Center. Tina has now been in the Rehab center for 3 weeks. She is getting stronger and they are teaching her how to live without the use of her torso and legs. They are also trying to regulate her medications because she has extreme muscle spasms. Tina's discharge date is set for April 22 2021. The reason I am setting up this gofundme is to buy the things she is going to need to get her home. 
Specialized hospital bed $9000
Electric Lift $5000
Lift Sling $1000
Electric Wheel Chair $8000 but 75% covered by the government funding
Plus she is going to need alot of other medical supplies such as IC supplies and incontinence products. Which are going to be a monthly cost of around $2000.
They are also going to need to get a modified vehicle at some point in the near future as well as modify her living space to make it wheelchair accessible. 
Tina's life is going to be forever changed but I need to do everything I can to make it as manageable for her as I can. I will update as her journey continues. Please help us bring Tina Home to her family.
