Help Alex,he has two months to go before surgery

Hello, everyone! My name is Anita, and I hope we all can help Alexander permanently recover from a tragic incident.

Alex fell off his bike when he was 8 and injured his head so severely that it changed his life forever. He was in a coma for 4 months, followed by years of lengthy and painstaking recovery process, which still, at 16 is ongoing. Right now, he is at a stage where, to live a happy and fulfilling life again, full of soccer games and joy, much like his peers, he needs to undergo yet another and, I hope, last spinal surgery – Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy. Dr. Park at the St. Louis Children’s Hospital will perform it. Dr. Park explains that Alex’s condition will gradually worsen without this surgery until he returns to having to use a wheelchair again.

The never-ending rehabilitation and the multitude of surgeries he had to undergo so far helped him go from being fully paralyzed to being able to walk. But walking brings terrible pains, and the growing pains only worsen as time passes. The deficits that remained in his musculoskeletal system are severe and require Dr. Parks' help who guarantees that Alex will be able to recover to such an extent that he can lead an independent and fulfilling life and kick his favorite soccer ball. This surgery is the last thing that keeps Alex from a future where he will follow all his dreams.

The hospital’s offer includes the value of the Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy + deposit for supporting materials + a possible additional orthopedic surgery for ligament extensions (PERCS), which adds up to

$60000. He has been approved for a surgery in July 2023. Thank you for all the love, generosity, and support! Let’s give Alex a chance to play soccer again!
