Help us still a full family

Donation protected
After a lifetime of being a Superman and a few months ago I had the blowing news that I have to have major surgery in my back, every day I feel my legs stopped working to a point that I can’t hold on or stand up. since my spinal cord is being compressed by the liquid of my 3 herniated discs on my lumbar and sacro area and after my last fall I cracked a vertebrate that makes it so painful that I can’t even walk or stand up. also, I have completely lost all the disc material on my sacro 1 that makes it to press directly on my Spinal cord making my left leg not to be used due to the nerves and all the tissue being damage due to the injury. Physical and occupational therapy have done nothing and the doctor asked them to stop for the time being, also none of the very strong pills they have given me alleviate the pain. Today I received a power chair that helps me move around the house, but I still homebound due to not having ramps or something to mount the chair in our car since it weight more than 250lbs. and my wife can’t lift it. we are looking to see if we can get a vehicle that accommodate the wheel chair since we live in Wisconsin and there is snow and the chair can’t get wet. a chair ramp for the back of the car is great during the summer months but eventually we will need a van, I will be having surgery hopefully in October to be able to recuperate my movement but it’s going to be a painful and long process and i will be bedbound most of the time for almost a year then rehab will come. right now, our funds are extremely limited due to lack of employment and we are to the point that we can lose it all and the credit cards can’t hold much but they have to be repaid since I have to go to doctors almost every day and not always have the help to get me into the car. I feel sad after being able to do so much finding myself having to ask
for help, but anything will help. with hope and love.
