Tom Morris Stand Up Wheelchair Fund

Tom, became paralized 2 1/2 years ago from a disease called Transverse Myelitis which causes a Spinal Chord Injury .This is in the same family as MS. Sitting in a wheelchair consistantly causes muscle atrophy , spasms , bone density loss and stress on your organs. Tom is looking for a used Standing Wheelchair to put him in standing position for extended periods of time, allowing him to bear weight . He found a used Standing Wheelchair for $3,000 dollars plus shipping. Used standing chairs on ebay average $4,000 to $5,000 dollars .

A year ago Tom started The Hyde Park Medical Equipment Loan Closet. He has helped over 200 people in need of medical equipment in Dutchess , Ulster and Putnam Counties , helping physical therapists and medical professionals provide free help for their patients. It is now a multi Church ministry. All thiswhile in his wheelchair Pretty Amazing !
