Most recently, I was being considered for an Exoskeleton Robotics research study but did not meet the requirements of bone density. My bone scan indicated that I have very low bone density and am on the cusp of osteoporosis. While this is a condition many paralyzed individuals face, it happened very quickly to me. This is not only scary but also very distressing because there is a strong possibility if it gets worse, I will not be able to walk again even if my sensory and motor function return, due to the high fracture risk.
One of the interventions research has shown to help with bone density is a FES (functional electrical stimulation) bike. Insurance will only cover enough sessions for me to be trained to use a FES bike independently but not the $20,000 cost of the bike, or ongoing rehab sessions on the bike beyond training. This type of bike is also not readily available for use anywhere and I have been told that I need to find a way to purchase my own.
To help with the financial burden of all my uninsured medical expenses, a fundraising campaign in my 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 30 years. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the Northeast Spinal Cord Injury Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for medical-related expenses only. Please consider a tax deductible donation.

Please help me. Any size donation will make a difference. Thank you in advance for your support and generosity.
