Hollis is a caring, hardworking handsome 6 year old that just wants a chance to walk with robotic legs called a Trexo.
Hollis was born with hemimegalyencephaly and has intractable epilepsy and c.p. We saw another child who had a trexo and what benefits it provided. Right now, Hollis uses a treadmill and I manually move his legs. Even though it helps, it's nothing like what the Trexo could do. Also save my back. We have to pay out of pocket for most of Hollis's equipment and the Trexo is expensive for what we can afford. I am his gramma and full time caretaker. I have been trying really hard to fundraise to get money to afford one. We live In a state that has little to no help for children like Hollis.
I am determined and even though I've been turned down by businesses, Lions club, Shrinners, Kiwanis, Reeves foundation and others. I am still trying to fundraise through a raffle. I emailed Rachel at Trexo for advise and she was so nice to help me put together this crowd fund.
Anyone who out of the kidness of their heart, helps Hollis with in anyway will be recognized through social media, news papers, Facebook, etc. I also wish to get the word out in my community so all children who can use the Trexo will have an opportunity to. Every little amount helps and when Hollis gets his Trexo, I will post updates to show the benefits it is providing Hollis. I can't think of a better way to give a gift of what we take for granted, the gift of walking, independence and the joy on Hollis's face when he can walk with his brother and dog, at school with hìs friends, and anywhere the Trexo goes.
Please help bring a smile and answer our prayers of being able to give Hollis his wish. Thankyou.
The Crowd Financing Option
Through crowd-financing with CoCoPay™ , families collaborate with their social networks to gift someone they care about a Trexo Robotics Device. The family (or a helpful friend) registers a crowdfunding campaign and shares it via email, social media, or direct messages. They craft a story about how a device will change their friend's life, then collect online pledges from those in their networks who wish to help.
What happens when I click 'Contribute'?
People pledge using a credit card, bank card, or PayPal account. The campaign runs for a set time, and if it reaches its goal, the payment provider completes the charges, and the funds go directly to Trexo Robotics. The family and the supporters won’t incur any costs if the campaign falls short of the goal. All pledges are cancelled in that case. CoCoPay coaches families to provide the best opportunity for success!
Trexo Robotics & CoCoPay both have the same goal to provide these devices to people who need them without adding further fees.
When you contribute, you will see an option to top up your pledge, which helps keep CoCoPay’s platform and coaching services free for the family. This is entirely optional and will also only be charged if the campaign reaches its goal. Through your generosity, more families get the financial and physical help and support they need to make this a reality for their children without risking hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars in interest charges.
