New Car for Havyk's Therapy Visits
Donation protected
We are raising money to help purchase a second vehicle so we can take our son Havyk James to therapy. We found out recently that our perfect boy had a Perinatal Stroke, which means he had a stroke while either in utero or shortly after birth. As a result, he has developed a type of Cerebral Palsy called Hemiplegia in his right side. This means that he has very limited use to his right side of his body, including his hand, leg, eye, hearing, and even his face on that side. As well, since it is the left half of his brain that was affected, causing the problems to the right side of his body, he has also fallen behind on his speech and language development.
To help him recover, we have to take him to 3 different types of therapy: Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Speech Therapy. He will also be in and out of Children's Hospital Colorado in Denver, which is about a 60-mile drive one way, for testing until we can determine how much damage was caused to the left side of his brain from the stroke.
The money we receive from this campaign will all be going to purchasing a secondary reliable vehicle to get him to and from therapy, doctor visits, and hospital testing. The car we currently have will not make it to and from Denver, less all the therapy visits across Northern Colorado. My husband Justyn uses this car to get too and from work also and works full-time with overtime every week he is able. He is doing his best to support us, but a majority of the money we bring in goes straight out in bills, rent, and other necessities. We have not had very much time to save up for a new car and now we urgently need one.
We will be losing Havyks health insurance in a few months and so with that, anything extra we are able to gather will be going to pay his upcoming medical expenses and costs. It will also help us get things for our child to help him increase his strength and mobility at home as well as in therapy. We want to support his recovery and growth as best we can and in any way that we can.
We need as much help as we can get, as soon as we can get it. His therapy starts next week and it's going to be such a hard journey for our family.
