Marine vet, dad of 4 girls Fighting to walk again

I am a former Marine and father of four girls. I was paralyzed just over a year ago in a medical accident. I was told I would never walk again.

 

I could not and did not accept that I would not walk again and through many painful hours of physical therapy and rehabilitation, I'm now able to walk limited distances with the use of a walker or cane. This far, I have been able to come on my own with the love and support my family. But now, I am humbly in need of your help.

 

There is a robotic brace that is not covered by insurance that will allow me to walk unassisted and more importantly will allow me to walk longer distances. Currently, I'm only able to walk short distances without my walker because my body is exhausted from having to swing my right leg around due to the injury. The robotic brace helps compensate for that and will provide me and my family a much better quality of life than we can achieve just through hard work and our own efforts.

 

We have never asked for anything in our lives and wish we were able to overcome these financial barriers on her own. But we cannot, and we have learned over this past year that you  get through times like these with the love of family, the support of friends and random acts of kindness.

 

Thank you for your prayers, your time and if you are able, your contribution.

God bless
