Help Ricky Bragg's Journey to Recovery. Help Change My Life

Hi everyone, my name is Ricky Bragg and I sadly broke my neck 4 years ago and I am now a quadriplegic. I am working my butt off every day trying to work on my body that no longer works and I don't want to let this injury define me. It has wreaked havoc on my entire family and this is by far the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. It has touched so many people in my family in some way to see me struggle every day in so many ways and their help and support is a huge reason I make it through each day.

With no use of my legs and hands, you can imagine how hard it is to do every single thing, small and big, and I need people's help now just to stay alive, and that is such a hard truth. I have an absolutely amazing wife, Andrea, and 2 beautiful kids, Andrew (10 years old) and Carina (8 years old), that are my everyday reminder of what I am fighting for. It breaks my heart to see how much my injury hurt them and made their lives hard, but they help me so much every day and are so strong. I thank God so much for blessing me with them. Their support and constant encouragement keep my spirits high, keep me working hard, and keep me happy. I couldn't do this without them. I truly couldn't get through this without everyone that helps me, and I am so grateful for all of it. God is my rock and strength, and He has given me so much family and so many friends, and with everyone's help, I WILL GET THROUGH THIS. AMEN.

I am now in a situation where I need some help, so I am asking for any amount of money you can contribute towards my goal so that I can get through next year. The money I am needing is for a new intense workout program that does not take insurance, but they work with all paralyzed people and are incredible. I need every day help with bathing, dressing, bathroom things, etc., because I am unable to do it by myself. I hope to keep working hard so that in the future I may not need so much help, but for now, I do. So the harder i work the more i will get to wake up and strengthen. I am now strong enough to use a hand cycle to work out, and I really want to buy the bike to ride with my wife and kids, and it is a great workout tool. Anything at all you can help with would be so helpful, and I will be so thankful for any amount you can donate.

I will be raising money to pay my copay with new insurance and the more I raise the more I can do. Also my house needs ADA modifications that are very expensive but would help my life so much. Any money i raise will go to a great cause and I am so motivated to keep pushing forward strong.

I will be trying to buy vending machines for different locations because it is a way that I can try to help financially with monthly bills that we are behind on. If I can place five or six machines, they don't make a lot of money, but each one adds up to go towards bills, and the more I can get, the better. So please help me raise the money to buy the machines. They are like $5,000 to $6,000 a piece, so if I can get three to start, it will really help. It's hard to find ways to make money without having your body working at all, so I want to go to school soon, but for now, this could work. So please help me work towards that goal. I don't need thousands. I just need a little bit from a lot of people.

I will be back on top of posting videos of my progress, so please follow me and watch me get through this. #rollingwithricky is the YouTube channel, and I post on TikTok. You all are amazing, and remember I can't do this without y'all, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. Take care, everyone.
