Help Tykheem with his medical equipment

Donation protected
On July 18, 2019 my God brother Tykheem Thomas (son of Akisha Byer and Kareem Thomas) was seriously injured in a Truck accident, while riding as a passenger. He suffered traumatic brain and spinal injury, which left him paralyzed from the waist down.

 Tykheem was taken to Cooper University Hospital and needed a life saving operation.  While at Copper University Hospital Tykheem endured several procedures and had major surgery to his spine.  Right now Tykheem is stable, but the doctors are not sure if he will ever regain use of his legs.  His first major step toward recovery is intense therapy at McGee Rehab.

 While he still doesnt have any feelings from the waist down Tykheem remains very faithful and positive. Tykheem is determined to walk again! Physical rehabilition is the best next step to help Tykheem recover, become self-sufficient and hopefully regain mobility.

 Where your money will go:

Our goal is to raise 25,000 to help Tykheem with the following

-Physical Rehablitation cost that are not covered by insurance

-Home care costs (estimated a 150/day for at least 6 months)

-Special needs due to his new diabilities (ie:wheelchair, accessibility adjustment to his home)

-Living expenses/loss of income

-Any other out-of-pocket expenses that he may incur during is inpatient/outpatient rehab

 Some Background information on Tykheem:

Tykheem is a Beloved son, father, brother and friend to many. Tykheem loves to dance and is always the life of the party.

 Thank you for reading Tykheem's story.  We appreciate any help or contribution, no matter how big or small.  Please share our campaign link on social media and with your friends.  We will keep you posted on the use of funds and his progress going forward.  If you have any questions feel free to contact us directly. Tykheem is home unable to get in and out his house because he needs a ramp, he can’t get the stairs to the 2nd floor because he needs a stairlift. Please be so kind and help him out.
