Quadriplegic Needs Mobility
Donation protected
What can I say about myself?
I am partially paralyzed and bedridden. In October 2015, I was admitted into the hospital because of incredible pain in my lower extremities and loss of motor functions. The doctors said my spine was being compressed. I underwent three difficult spinal cord operations and was in the hospital for four months. Though the operation was successful, the damage to my spine had still rendered me quadriparetic which means muscle weakness affecting all four limbs. Add this with my post polio condition, I am essentially stuck in bed. But I have a great desire to be independently mobile. Unfortunately, I am without health insurance, so, I essentially need to raise money for a chin controller and a safe electric wheelchair.
As a people person, I cannot socialize and do business until I get out of bed and get out there with everybody. So, I pray you could help me gain back my mobility and some independence. Thank you very much.
[ By the way, I live in the Philippines but my sister, who is in Ohio, will handle the donations. ]
