Support Jerry's quest

Donation protected
Hello all my friends and associates, and for those of you who do not know me, I am a 54 yo father of 2 daughters, one in college and one in high school.  I suffered a devastating stoke in August 2014 which affected my left side.  Initially, I had no use at all of my left side, but with hard work, therapy and determination I have regained a substantial amount of movement.  I have been evaluated for upper and lower extremity Bioness units with success. My insurance company is denying coverage of the Bioness units and the out of pocket cost is out of financial reach.  During the evaluation of these units I was able to walk without the use of my ankle foot orthotic (brace) and the upper extremity unit helped to relieve contractures in my arm, decreasing the pain in my left arm and shoulder.  The daily use of these units would allow me to function more normally, build and strenghten muscles in my left leg and left arm, and help me to have a better quality of life and independence.

Thank you for your consideration of my quest.

Once I have obtained the devices I will be happy to update everyone on my progress.
