A change of direction
Greetings everyone. It's time to turn our attentions to a new cause.
Some of you may know orphan_project. Recently she got some hard news and is in a rough spot. She works part time, but has no health insurance and has to pay for all of her own care.
She discovered this week that the physical problems in her back are going to require physical therapy two to three times per week for the next three months.
This amounts to nearly $2000 that she doesn't have.
There are multiple issues, including scar tissue in her left shoulder, neck and lower back, calcium deposits between two vertebrae where there should be a disk and a problem in her neck. These issues limit her ability to lift or perform repetitive motions, cause numbness in her arm and contribute to debilitating migraines. Left untreated the disk problem in her lower back could prevent her from having children in the future.
Some of this can be traced to a car accident she had in 2009, but the causes of other issues are not so clear cut.
Regardless, orphan_project needs to raise some dollars to help pay for her medical costs.
Can you help?
Sign ups begin Sunday, 2/13/11 and run through Saturday, 2/19/11. Auction will take place 2/20/11 through 2/27/11.
