Steve Foster

YOU CAN HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

You don’t plan to have an accident that leaves you paralyzed. No one does—including Steve Foster, yet that is exactly what happened! While traveling home June 12, 2008, Steve Foster lost control of his Harley and was taken by Life Flight to the Texas Medical Center in Houston—in a coma with critical injuries. In spite of his prognosis, he beat the odds. Now a quadriplegic, Steve is paralyzed with a C-1, C-2 spinal cord injury. He is dependent on a ventilator some of the time. He has been implanted with the NeuRX Diaphragm Pacing System. His goal with the pacing is to work his way off the ventilator hours during the day or night.

Debbie, his wife, is employed by Clear Creek ISD and is now the sole supporter. Their medical insurance is through her employer yet we know they will have ongoing and unanticipated medical expenses not covered by private insurance. To assist with this financial burden, a fund has been established with the Catastrophic Injury Program of HelpHOPELive. HelpHOPELive provides both tax-deductibility and fiscal accountability to contributors. Funds are administered by HelpHOPELive for medically-related expenses only. Please help Steve accomplish his life-changing goals.

The goals for Steve’s campaign challenges are:

Quadriciser – A Quadriciser is a motorized physical therapy system that would give Steve an aerobic exercise. Steve was recently at TIRR (The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research) and was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. The Quadriciser is a critical part of his treatment, since Steve is paralyzed from the neck down. This is the only piece of equipment that would give him the cardio workout he desperately needs. The cost of this equipment is $14,500 and is not covered by insurance, even with a letter of recommendation from his doctor. Learn more at www.Quadriciser.com.
Home health care – this is an ongoing expense.
Durable medical equipment – manual wheelchair and wheelchair modifications.
Stem Cell Therapy
