Hello,
I’m Greg, a loving husband and father who cherished an active lifestyle with my family. Unfortunately, a sudden medical condition drastically changed my life. A major surgery to remove a mass from my spinal cord left me paralyzed from the chest down, ushering in a new reality filled with challenges and adaptations.
I’m currently dedicated to my recovery at a spinal cord rehabilitation center. Despite my efforts, progress has been slower than anticipated, and I long to return home to my beautiful wife and two little angels. However, returning home requires significant modifications to accommodate my new needs:
1. A wheelchair-accessible ramp for easy entry into our home.
2. Widened doorways to allow wheelchair access.
3. A specialized bathroom that caters to my physical abilities.
4. An electric bed for seamless transfers from my wheelchair.
5. A comfortable chair that supports my back, crucial due to the pain I experience.
6. Essential medical supplies for daily self-care, including equipment for catheterization and bowel management.
Additionally, I need a specialized wheelchair, which costs over $5,000, and I am responsible for 25% of this amount.
This journey has been the most challenging experience of my life, and I am reaching out for support in making these necessary changes to my home. Your assistance, in any form, will be invaluable in helping me reunite with my family and adapt to this new phase of life.
Thank you for taking the time to hear my story. If you wish to contribute or get in touch, i’m available at [phone redacted]].
With gratitude,
Greg
