Empower Elijah's Journey with a Wheelchair

Donation protected

Elijah is a deaf openly queer trans man with a profound passion for advocacy, dedicated to serving diverse communities across New Mexico. He recently celebrated graduating from the University of New Mexico and is eagerly looking forward to starting his Master's in Social Justice and Human Rights this fall. Tragically, Elijah was recently diagnosed with a rare degenerative neuromuscular condition that has rapidly and profoundly affected his life, particularly his mobility. Despite these challenges, Elijah's spirit remains unbroken.

Elijah urgently needs a specialized wheelchair to help him navigate this new chapter in his life. Unfortunately, insurance only covers a portion of the cost, leaving a significant financial burden on Elijah and his loving wife, Camille. This GoFundMe aims to raise the necessary funds to ensure Elijah can afford the wheelchair he desperately needs. Your support will help him maintain his quality of life, enabling him to continue his vital community work and advocacy. With your generosity, Elijah can remain active in the community, inspiring and uplifting others despite the obstacles he faces.
