Wheelchair Accessible Van for Quadriplegic

Donation protected
My name is Abi Dominguez and I am trying to help raise money to get a wheelchair accessible van for my brother Danny. He left Mexico in 2019, eager to work in the U.S and support his 3 kids who are 8, 6 and 4 years old. Less than a year later, on September 18th of 2020 he fell off a 2 story house while working. He is now quadriplegic at only 26 years old meaning he is paralyzed from the chest down. Not only has the company he worked for not taken responsibility and denied workers comp, on the day of the accident instead of calling an ambulance they picked him up and took him to the hospital. We don't know why or if them picking him up caused him to get paralyzed but due to his injuries he has not gone out of the house for almost 3 years. He is confined to a wheelchair and can't do anything on his own. Since Covid, its been very hard on us financially so we are asking for help so he can finally see the outside world and so we can take him to his physical therapy appointments as we have not been able to without a wheelchair accesible van. We have been trying to do some physical therapy at home and he has been able to move his arm the slightest bit, so I can imagine what else he could achieve if we were able to take him to his appointments. We sincerely and deeply thank everyone who is able to help, even if it's just a share it helps plenty.





Mi nombre es Abi Domínguez y estoy tratando de ayudar a recaudar dinero para conseguir una camioneta accesible para sillas de ruedas para mi hermano Danny. Dejó México en 2019, ansioso por trabajar en los EE. UU. y mantener a sus 3 hijos de edades 8, 6 y 4 años. Menos de un año después que llego, el 18 de septiembre de 2020 cayó de un techo mientras trabajaba. Ahora es tetrapléjico con solo 26 años, lo que significa que está paralizado del pecho hacia abajo. No solo la empresa por la que trabajo no asumio la responsabilidad, en vez de llamar ambulancia lo levantaron y lo llevaron. No sabemos si eso causo que se paralize pero debido a sus heridas él no ha salido de casa desde hace casi 3 años. Está confinado a una silla de ruedas y no puede hacer nada por sí mismo. Desde Covid, ha sido muy difícil para nosotros financieramente, por lo que estamos pidiendo ayuda para que finalmente pueda ver el mundo exterior y poder llevarlo a sus citas de fisioterapia, ya que no hemos podido sin una camioneta accesible para sillas de ruedas. Hemos estado tratando de hacer un poco de fisioterapia en casa y ha podido mover un poco el brazo, así que puedo imaginar qué más podría lograr si pudiéramos llevarlo a sus citas. Les agredecemos por toda la ayuda que puedan ofrecernos de ante mano de parte mia y de mi familia. Con solo compartir, nos ayudaria bastante.
