In May 2015, my husband Stephan Golden and I were involved in an ATV accident in which Stephan’s spine was fractured. Since the accident, he has had two neck surgeries and has been admitted to the hospital several times. Doctors are not sure how long it will take before Stephan regains full mobility in both hands and legs. He has had severe back pain and is still unable to walk totally on his own. As you can imagine, the care he needs is very expensive, which is why we need your help.Stephan is a professional videographer and graphic designer. We have been married for 11 years and reside in Raleigh, NC. I work from home in the travel industry, while also being Stephan’s primary caregiver.In spite of the many struggles he faces, Stephan remains hopeful he will be able to return to a productive life in the community through the support of family and friends. In order to continue healing properly, he needs regular consistent physical therapy, personal training and medical equipment. Another expense we face is the need for a home care aid for at least eight hours a day while I work. None of these expenses will be covered by insurance.To help with the financial burden of Stephan’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in his honor has been established with Help Hope Live, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 40 years. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law, are held by Help Hope Live in the South-Atlantic Catastrophic Injury Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for injury-related expenses only.

In Jan/24 Stephan fell twice while transferring. The last time he fell he fractured his knee that left him unable to bare weight for 2 months. I moved in him in a manual Hoyer lift until I could safely get him back upstairs. Now we realized that his mobility has changed and it is no longer safe for him to be upstairs. We are planning to be a 1st floor bedroom with wheelchair accessible shower to our current residence. This project will cost around $125K. We are applying for grants, having fundraiser and doing all we can do to obtain as much as possible. Stephan and I keep believing in a miracle because the God that we serve is well able to perform.
We want to thank each of you for continuing to support and believing in the healing for Stephan.
We were trying to get him into Inpatient Rehab for the past 2 years. Today God open the door. After we were told he was denied again, after the doctors did an appeal and was also told denied. I then was asked on Friday , 1/13/23 to call and do a family appeal.
I wanted to call then but, i said i need to pray and seek God for the words. So I told our Elders from church what was going on and ask they pray for God's will be done not ours. So all weekend we were in a state of prayer and listening to see what direction to go in.
On Tuesday 1/17/23 , i called to request an fast track appeal and was ready to plead our case. The 1st customer service person didn't speak good English and ended up hanging up on me. I called back and the 2nd person said , i will research and call me back in 10 minutes but never received a call back ,after 30 minutes. I called back 3rd time and still 7person didn't understand English but they transferred me to Taylor who actually worked with Insurance Company and she was able to submit our appeal after speaking with me and the Admissions department. She told me that i should hear back in 72hrs. But, God, Admission called today 1/18/23 and said to me. I don't know what you said but, Stephan was approved.
I told her it was not me but God who open a door no man can close. Stephan goes back to Inpatient rehab at WakeMed hospital on this Friday. Not sure for how long but, we believe he will be there as long as he needs to get better. God get ALL the glory.
Thank you all for prayers and your financial support. We love and appreciate you all.
We are currently fundraising to obtain 2 PR535-M26 Power Lift Chairs with foot extenders. These chairs will allow Stephan to sleep a little more comfortable. He is not able to sleep on a bed or even the hospital bed due to the current nerve pain. He is in pain 24 hrs a day. We are working with his Pain Doctor to get him back into Rehab and a Specialized Spin Clinic.
01/11/2020 my wife Katrina Golden will be undergoing full knee replacement. The doctors will do left knee 1st and then after recovery will do right knee. She has put this surgery off for 3 years but, now she has to get it done. She was waiting because I need full time care because of my level of injury. She is searching now, trying to find funding to help cover the cost of a full time Caregiver to help me out while she recovers. Praying and believing for a financial miracle.
Stephan did a short video of his desire to drive. We will be doing a longer video of the story soon to come.
We are thankful for all who participated in our Golden Online Auction. We raised $450. We still have several items that were donated to help us raise $5500 towards a Stairlift. The Stairlift cost $10500 and we were approved for a $5000 grant towards it. Thank you again for your continued support
Hi, FB fam/friends we want to thank you for all of your support in the past. Our fundraising efforts continue and we really need your help.
We have found a grant that has paid for the Hill Rom hospital bed which was a $13k equipment that Stephan can sleep on. We have been sleeping downstairs for the past 3 years. Hubby slept on lift chair and I slept on sofa. Now we can sleep in same room. Praise God for the blessing.
We really need a Stair Lift that will allow Stephan to go upstairs. This project is $10K , I know we all have things we are going through and we pray always for you. If you can PLEASE give to our campaign and share with you friends, co-workers etc for support.
We are trying to find another grant to pay for this but have not so far. Still searching.

Today, 11/7/17 my husband has walked up the stairs with his CNA to get a shower. He has not been able to walk up the stairs in over a year. I am so excited and blessed that God continues to show himself strong. We are fighting a battle but, with God and all of those who love and support us we will continue to overcome all challenges. I wanted to share this GREAT!!, accomplishment. Thank all of you for your given and continued support.
Please continue to give as God allows you to and we will be forever grateful. God Bless You all
