To go from being very active, helpful, a giver who was very active in her church Jessie now says “I’m now less independent and I have to rely on everyone to help me. It was a huge shock.”

Not being able to lend a hand is tough on Jessie. The physical toll from not being able to stand has caused wounds and sores that have kept Jessie in and out of the hospital. My mom is in the hospital now because of the wound & infection in her trach which has cause pneumonia that has weakened her lungs and now she is on breathing machine (NO SHE DOESN’T HAVE COVID). Jessie has spent over 2 months in the hospital.

Jessie sees a solution in a new wheelchair with a feature that would allow her to stand with the push of a button, the chair would lift Jessie up.

Physical Benefits of Standing Wheelchairs
• Improved breathing function
• Blood flow enhancement.
• Enhancing bladder & bowel function
• Increased bone density
• Reduced pressure ulcers

Unfortunately for Jessie, her insurance company denied the standing wheelchair.

Jessie is very religious woman, faithful, honest and she believes God has her here for reasons, she has so much life in her. Jessie Baker is a great mother and friend who is loved by many, heavily involved in church and family orientated.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.
