for travel freedom

Granted by Heroes: Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest, Guest
This is my wish and it is a big one. I have been a long-time oxygen patient because of a rare lung disease. We have always had to take all of our vacations as road trips since I can not fly with my O2. Now that I've also had a stroke, I am not able to share the driving, leaving it all to my husband wherever we go.

There is one type of oxygen that is FAA approved, however, called a portable oxygen concentrator. My insurance will not cover the continous flow unit though, only the on-demand type which I'm not able to use. My wish, then, is for a continous flow portable oxygen concentrator. Here is a link to the one I have found that will work best and is most affordable:

They are quite costly but I have saved about half of what I need for it. Please help me to be free to go again and my husband to not be so stressed and exhausted when we get "there," wherever that may be.

Thank you for any help you can give us!

Please go to this link for the foundation and apply for your cause. https://www.wishuponaherofoundation.org/get-involved/hero-programs/cause-heroes
Maybe they can do a match up to $500. I'd be willing to donate to help your cause. Maybe we can get a Wish Ambassador to help work on your wish. You are a wonderful hero and I will see what I can help with and come back to offer even if just $5, it all adds up. God bless you! Cindy
