What’s up y'all, My name is Joe DeBise and I’ll be 35, in October of this year.
For those of you that I have not had the pleasure of meeting, Hello.
If you don’t know or haven’t heard, In 2010, I was involved in a car accident that nearly ended it all for me. I have been blessed with another chance and I’m going to make sure I give it all I’ve got. But I need some help.
The accident did leave me permanently disabled, a c-4, c-5 quadriplegic, completely paralyzed from the chest down and most of my arms. The clinical picture of a person with this diagnosis usually requires around the clock care. I have worked to become fully independent during the day. Now I’m ready for the next big challenge, other than just dropping my phone.
I have been given two beautiful children and wife that won’t let me slow down. They both want to play this or go there and they make me keep up. The ‘’great’’ part is that it all costs, which has helped motivate me to help more people and go back to work. The scary thing is that I don’t know how. I used to know how to get up and go to work, it was easy I did it every day. But now as much as I like to pretend, things are NOT the same as they used to be. As much as I would like to, I don’t know what getting up every day and going to work looks like and I’m scared to death.
I’ve faced countless challenges in the five years since my accident. Wow, to write that, it deeply joys and saddens me at the same time (as tears hit the screen of my tablet). The doctors thought I was going to die more than once. My family and l have gone through so much, yet we are so blessed to have each other and we ALL know it. In the last several months l have been given the opportunity to drive I have taken full advantage of it. I had forgotten how liberating driving is. I am lucky enough to get my license for the first time, twice. I was so ready and excited on the second test that I got a perfect score. It’s been on ever since, I try to stay in the streets. The only things that slow me down are the prices of gas and finding someone to pump it.
That leads me towards to reason I need your help. We have worked really hard to be able to afford the equipment and van that I drive, but I have put a lot extra pressure on my family. My wife, Cami's, grandparents blessed us with our first van. With that as part of our down payment, much of our own money and Vocational Rehabilitation help, we got an $85,000, van down to around $21,000. I know that’s a lot of money, believe me I know. That’s why I need all help you can give. I mean anything, whatever you can do, share this post, give me ideas, whatever. Please help me. Everyone that knows me knows that I hate to ask for help. More than that, I often just don’t ask for help. But today, I want your help. l need everyone I know and everyone I don’t to please help me!
Please help, if you know me, if you don’t me, if there was anything you ever wanted to do to help and didn’t know how, this is it. $2.00 or $.10, please help. Please message me, if nothing more than to just say 'hi', all your love is greatly appreciated. Every little bit makes a huge differences, it really does.
Thank you so much, for just taking the time to read this.
