Current Needs:
1. Scott's insurance has declined to pay for a special wheelchair, although it is medically necessary. His current wheelchair is too small and he is having a problem with slipping out of it because he is so tall. It is temporarily rigged with PVC piping for his head. It is also very firm and causes sores if Scott is in it too long. The chair is unwieldy to use, which makes it a challenge for traveling and for taking Scott outside for walks, etc. The new wheelchair is designed to meet Scott's needs. This new wheelchair will cost $8,000. December 17, 2006 - Update on the wheelchair situation: Scott is currently using another loaner wheelchair. This one was constructed for him by the wheelchair company out of spare parts. Although Pamela and Scott were to be allowed to use this one until they had the money for the new chair, the new owner of the wheelchair company has now asked for payment in full ($5,000) for the loaner chair.
August 14, 2007 - Scott has a new wheelchair! See Scott's News for more details.
2. His insurance does not cover the cost of his hyperbaric therapy - $200/hour.
3. His insurance has declined a $1,732 bill for Dr. Hammesfahr's services.
4. Funds for ongoing legal fees for the divorce and criminal cases.
5. Funds to hire a private investigator to look into the cause of the injury. This is an urgent need at this time!
