Here is what Arman's family wrote: 
 
A parent's worst nightmare came true when Arman had a heart-wrenching accident in a pool. He hit his head and damaged his Spinal Cord.
 
After 7 hrs of surgery and multiple weeks in the hospital fighting a high fever, doctors declared that he would be paralyzed waist down.
 
But as Arman is - always optimistic, happy-go-lucky young man, he is pushing back and working hard in Rehab.
 
He has slight movement in his left arm but can't hold anything.
 
He will need many months of PT and OT. He will need home care once he is discharged from Rehab.
 
He will need a specialized motorized chair for his mobility.
 
There will be a lot of modifications required at his parent's home to make it accessible for him. A ramp to get into the house from the garage, a modified room and revamped bathroom that he can access.
 
Any donations you are willing to give will be greatly appreciated. Donations will be used to help this young man on his road to recovery.
