Transportation for Ben
Donation protected
My son Ben was born at 25 weeks. He only weighed 2 pounds at birth. He had multiple health problems and spent over 4 months in the NICU. During that time he had a Stroke that went undetected by the doctor's for over a month. As a resut of that he has Cerebral Palsy, Partial Complex Seizures, which require anti-seizure medication for the rest of his life, and Retinopathy of Prematurity, which has required him to have to wear glasses since he was less than a year old. He also cannot walk and requires multiple medical devices, such as specially made braces for his feet and legs, wheelchairs, walkers, and specialized standers.
He has just turned 9 years old and was receiving Social Security Disability Benefits. With those benefits we were able to purchased a vehicle that we could transport his wheelchair, walker, a special stander, and other necessary medical equipment for him. We just received notification that his benefits have been cancelled. Now we have a vehicle that we can no longer afford to keep.
We need help with funds to pay off this vehicle so that we can have a way to continue to transport him and all his medical equipment to the plethoria of doctor's that he needs to see for all of his health problems.
If you can help with this it would be so greatly appreciated. If we cannot raise the funds needed then we will lose the vehicle. Please help us to raise these funds so we can keep this vehicle.
