In May of 2021 I became a paraplegic due to complications during back surgery. My short term goal is to drive and my long term goal is to walk. In order to drive I will need hand controls installed in my vehicle and the training to use them. I am blessed to have amazing friends who have helped me with rides but I need to gain this independence to be able to live a full life and to serve my community. To walk I need to continue the activity based one on one training at a specialized gym that’s helping me strengthen my legs. I have also experienced improvement through acupuncture which is not covered by my medical insurance. Any help would be appreciated and I also covet your prayers.
