1997 should have been a typical year in the Baer family, their son Richard “Ricky” was 11 and enjoying the usual things of a pre-teen boy, football and little league topping the list. Ricky was a happy active young man and even though he was born deaf it did not stop him from enjoying a full life. An diagnosis of Transverse myelitis spectrum disorder did that. Ricky’s Transverse myelitis can be caused by the Tetanus shot. In short, TM is a neurological condition that affects the spinal cord, damaging nerves and can lead to paralysis. That is what happened with Ricky. At the age of 33, Ricky has been dealing with this disease for more than 20 years. He is wheelchair bound and needs your help.
Ricky is currently housebound and needs to fundraise for a new van and ramp. He unable to go his appointments. He is unable to work his part-time job because he is unable to leave the house. He can’t see his nephew’s sports games or activities. He can’t go any events with his family and friends because a new van and ramp is needed. While insurance helps with most things, so needs are not covered. Your donation will help Ricky move freely and enjoy his life.
The family and friends of Ricky are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with Catastrophic Illness.
Ricky chose to fundraise for Help Hope Live in part because Help Hope Live assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for contributors. Contributors can be sure donations will be used to pay or reimburse medical and related expenses. To make a tax-deductible donation to this fundraising campaign, click on the Give button.
