The family submitted a claim for a wheelchair which was rejected in October . They resubmitted the claim which was also rejected a few weeks ago . On March 3 , Aubrey wrote on Facebook that the claim had been denied . She wrote : ' I know that our son is only two but his mobility should n't be determined by a doctor that works for the insurance company , who has never met him . 'Crue is such an amazing and determined little boy and is capable of a lot more than they think . I do n't know where he would be without his little ZipZac chair . That chair has given him his own independence and the ability to explore and learn on his own . 'He 's been using that chair for almost two years now ( no thanks to the insurance ) . I just wish that insurance companies would understand that if they gave young disabled children the chance to have mobility at a young age , the difference they 'd be making in their lives . 'An able child learns to walk at the age of one so why is it not okay for a young disabled child to learn to use a chair at the age of two ? ' Crue , who was born with spina bifida , currently gets around in a $ 1,100 ZipZac , which is a small wheelchair that is low to the ground and often gets stuck on cracks in the sidewalk ( Crue pictured above in his ZipZac wheelchair ) Anthem Blue Cross has said the child 's doctor is at fault for not submitting the required documents ahead of the legal deadline . 'Our records reflect that claim was denied because their doctor , despite efforts by Anthem to obtain this information , did not provide necessary documentation before the legal deadline to process a claim expired , ' Darrel Ng , spokesman for Anthem Blue Cross told Fox News . The insurance company also said the family can appeal the decision that the chair is not necessary for Crue , according to ABC . The toddler 's parents plan to appeal the decision and keep fighting for their son . Insurance company , Anthem Blue Cross , said the child 's doctor is at fault for submitting the required documents in a timely fashion ( above , Crue pictured in February during his routine kidney and bladder check up ) Crue 's parents plan to appeal the decision given by the insurance company and will keep fighting for their son ( above Crue pictured in January enjoying sled hockey ) Aubrey began sharing her son 's story on Facebook , which led a close friend of theirs to start a donation page to help raise funds so that Crue could have a new wheelchair . As their friend , Chanda Clark Steggell , was only intending to raise $ 10,000 , by Saturday $ 15,995 had been raised in donations . Now Crue will also be able to have a standing walker and standing wheelchair . The donations will also help with many other of his other medical needs that are incurred on both a weekly and monthly basis .
