Boy shot and paralyzed from the waist down needs help to walk again

My name is Josh Rivers I was a victim of a random shooting and left paralyzed from the waist down. I need a device to help me walk again

My name is Josh Rivers I was the victim of a random shooting a year and a half ago that left me paralyzed from the waist down and killed my first love. I have been recovering slowly but don't have the medical assistance and physical therapy I need. I created a youtube fundraiser video in hopes of getting enough donations to be able to buy a device for my leg to help me walk again.

My local news interviews can be seen here:

The device is called the Bioness L300 Plus, it straps onto my leg and uses electrical stimulation to activate the nerves and muscles to help me move my leg and foot. This device costs about $7000. Having this device would change my entire world.... not only does it help me walk much easier, but it also over time repairs the nerves and will allow me to be able to move my leg and foot on my own eventually. It will also help to relieve my chronic back pain which I have now because the bullet is still in my spine. Doctors are afraid to try and remove it because it might cause more damage. 

I really appreciate you're donations! If you cant donate, all I ask is that you spread the word around to other people! Thank you all so much!
