High Urgency Request
This is a single-mother family who has a child with multiple medically complex diagnosis. The child is 13 years old and diagnosed with cerebral, seizures, microephaly, dysphagia, and a feeding disorder. This child is non-verbal and does not qualify for Indiana Medicaid. The child has never attended school due to not having a wheelchair or any way to be mobile while at the school. The family has just been approved and fitted for a carseat through NuMotions, but needs an additional $150.80 to help cover the cost for a specialized part. This payment would help secure this carseat for this child, and open up the option of attending school and getting the child more accessibility.
