Beth was severely injured as a passenger in a car accident in her mid -20s. Among a long list of other severe injuries, her spinal cord injury combined with her brain injury turned what seemed to be unfathomable into her new reality: Beth became paralyzed.

There was all the things “they” say. “She’ll never breathe on her own, eat, talk, move or feel anything below her neck, and even then she will not be able to turn her head.” Even though none of this turned out to be true (she talks nonstop, eats pretty much everything in site, has sensation everywhere, nerves and muscles firing throughout much of her body, most shockingly her legs!) But all of this doesn’t change the fact that she has very Little in the way of independence, due to her lack of hand and triceps functions, and the enormous amount of spasticity (Spasticity is a condition in which certain muscles are continuously contracted. This contraction causes stiffness or tightness of the muscles and can interfere with normal movement) mainly in her upper extremities.

HELP WITH PLANNING EVENTS NEEDED! If contributing money isn’t an option right now or in the near future, Beth knows! And what we would love more than anything is some assistance to help us plan events.

Beth has been feeling very helpless, as far as getting in-person, real life fundraisers off the ground. It is very difficult for her because she is not able to drive, which is necessary in order to meet with the businesses, individuals, stores, and restaurants, etc who are the people she needs to get in touch with to make the fun ideas for everyone to participate in, life a benefit dinner, concert, bake sale, car was and, her biggest goal: A “Wheelchair Run!” The idea is to invite people to make teams where different people can push a manual wheelchair with the other people in the chair helping to push it! OR, simply create teams of people “running” the race by pushing themselves on their own together. The problem with arranging these types of events is, she really needs a group of people to help her with all of the planning and detail that goes along with it! If you, or anyone you know, is able to help us out by offering their time to help be her “legs” in order to plan and organize these events, please email her at Rooskie84@gmail.com

Beth is absolutely amazed and humbled by the kind people we know, and those we don’t, who have taken the time to contribute to this account! There are family members doing fundraising on their end, using their place of business and proceeds from sales, to raise money we couldn’t dream of!

We know the goal of $100,000 is exceptionally high and seemingly impossible to raise. But we believe our God is greater and loves to show His power, mercy, and love to His children!

Even if it’s just me trying to help myself, at least there’s still SOMEONE who cares and hasn’t forgotten about me.
