Cover the cost of exoskeleton

Donation protected
Hello everybody. Here I am asking for help again. My son Anthony had a tragic accident 2 years ago. He fractured his neck while skiing. Anthony is paralyzed from the neck down. The lowest working muscle that he has is a biceps. No use of hands and obviously no use of legs. Even breathing is not easy. What helps is that he is young, was athletic, has a great attitude and a will to try things. He tried a free trial of exoskeleton this week. It is amazing. For the first time in more than 2 years he was upright. He was able to control the balance and walk with the help of his upper body. The problem is that health insurance does not pay for it. It is more than 200 per session. And Anthony will need at least 2 per week. Having a disabled person in the house turn out to be quite expensive. I simply can not afford to pay for more then a few sessions. They promise to come with at home version of that. I am afraid even to think about the price of it. So for now we just want him to be able to do that exercise and improve his balance and upper body strength.
For those who don’t know my life has not been easy over the last 3 years. I was at the front of COVID epidemics as an infectious diseases physician in New Jersey. I lost the man I loved to the disease. Then it was Anthony’s accident. And as a cherry on top was my brush with cancer last year. Two years with major medical bills and struggle. That’s all I can say for now. I want my son to have every opportunity to improve his life. Thanks for all your help.
