Supporting Aspen's Path to Greater Independence

Meet Aspen Baxter, a strong and determined individual who is working towards greater independence and living life to the fullest. As a member of the disability community, Aspen faces unique challenges every day.

Despite facing significant challenges after a medication injury in September 2021 that left her paralyzed, Aspen remains determined to promote accessibility and empower others with disabilities.

Aspen's life took a dramatic turn when she was injured, leading to paralysis, seizures, and chronic pain. With over five medical appointments a week, she faces daily challenges that would be overwhelming for anyone. Yet, Aspen's spirit remains unbroken. She dreams of living independently again, pursuing her passions, and inspiring others to do the same.

As trustees of the Aspen Baxter Trust, we're dedicated to supporting Aspen's journey towards returning to a life of greater independence and her goals in helping to break barriers, to support lifestyles that maximizes one's abilities to thrive.

We are raising funds to help cover the many essential expenses that insurance does not provide. These include adaptive equipment, accessibility modifications, medical-related expenses, therapies, mobility needs, and other resources that support Aspen's independence and quality of life. Looking toward the future, funds may also help with obtaining a more accessible vehicle or, if it becomes medically possible for Aspen to drive again, hand controls or other adaptive driving modifications.

Every contribution brings Aspen closer to achieving her goals.

By supporting Aspen's journey, you're investing in a life of independence, dignity, and purpose, as well as her goals to educate and promote accessibility and inclusion in all avenues of living.

We will continue to share updates on Aspen's journey, including, stories, photos, and other moments that highlight the progress made possible through your generosity.

Together, we can help support Aspen's journey toward greater independence. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference by helping provide the resources and opportunities that support her health, mobility, and quality of life.

Thank you for being part of Aspen's journey. Your kindness, encouragement, and support help make greater independence, new opportunities, and a brighter future possible.
