Hello heroes,

This wish is extremely embarrassing and therefore hard for me to post. However, I feel that I have no other alternative, so here it goes. As you may know from my other wishes, I have Cerebral Palsy, and am confined to a wheelchair. While CP does not progress, I have other issues. One of these is microscopic gaps in my lumbar spine. These gaps often make it difficult to know when I need to urinate, causing me to have embarrassing accidents. I have tried multiple products such as condom catheters. The problem with these products is that they use adhesives, and with my limited hand usage, I’m unable to use them independently. After doing some online research, I found a new product caked Afex, which uses no adhesives. The problem is it’s not covered by my insurance, and it costs $143.75 for the components that I need. My finances are such that I am living month to month on Social Security Survivors benefits, which pays for my living expenses. I would be eternally grateful if I could get help buying this so I don’t have to be afraid to leave my home because I might have an accident.
