Help Patricia Walk Again

Hi! My name is Dave. I am fundraising to help Patricia be able to walk again. She suffered a stroke and has gone as far as she can with physical therapy. But she is still not able to walk normally. Before the stroke, she was very active as a certified Nutritionist, teaching people about plant-based nutrition and putting on weekly dinners for the community in San Francisco.

Her doctors have prescribed a special device called a Bioness L-300 Go. It sends electrical impulses which stimulate muscle use, needed because the stroke affected the area in the brain which ordinarily would do that. Here is a link to the description of the device.: https://www.l300go.com/

Although her doctors prescribed that device, insurance will not cover its cost BECAUSE they say as long as she can get around the house with a cane and use an AFO that is all they will cover. But extended use of an AFO results in muscle atrophy, and Patricia cannot safely get around in public, even two years after the stroke.

The Bioness L-300 Go is the ONLY device available which stimulates the muscles to enable normal walking. When she tried it out, the difference in walking ability was obvious from looking at the videos of her using it.

Bioness charges $8,000. for the unit. Please help Patricia be able to walk again and contribute to society as she had for years before her stroke.

THANK YOU FOR CARING!
