Hi my name is Raven William, and I am Steven Margetts' girlfriend.

After being in a motorcycle accident and airlifted from the Nicklemine UTV area near HOPE BC, he was paralyzed in May 2020. He is in a wheelchair and is paralyzed from the chest down.

Steven was working hard to rebuild strength and mobility following his C4/C5 Spinal Complete spinal injury, he has come a long way and would like to thank anyone that's ever lent a hand or donated any time with home modifications.

Initially in 2020 he spent 4 months in ICU at Vancouver, and 4 Months at GF Strong Spinal Rehabilitation Center, finally getting home late OCT 2020 to begin recovery from his motorcycle accident.

Since being home and for the past 4 years he has required both morning and evening help with completing each daily routine including dressing, bowel and bladder routine, as well as meals. He is designated as a persons with disabilities, and is on a very limited income of $1400 per month.
