Help Liam Walton-wheelchair van & medical expenses

***Update! One of the biggest struggles has been not having a way to get Liam to medical appointments or even the emergency room. We need a wheelchair van asap. Please consider a donation of any kind to help with the van or to help with the ongoing personal care for Liam.

On Tuesday, August 8, Liam fell from a neighborhood tree when a branch broke. He was transported via ambulance with no feeling below his neck to CHKD. CHKD was not equipped to handle such a serious spinal injury, so he was transferred to Norfolk Sentera General. A MRI showed damage to his spinal cord from C2-C6. Liam had surgery on Wednesday, August 9 and vertebrates 2-6 were fused with bone removed from 3&4 to help with swelling. Rods and screws were placed in Liam's neck to stabilize his spine. He broke both wrists in the fall and they were able to cast his arms in the operating room once the Neurosurgeon was finished. There will be a lengthy rehabilitation process and he will likely not regain use of his body below his neck. Please consider donating to help with the immediate and long-term medical and care expenses of Liam Walton.
