Help Cherrie Walk Again

While building a treehouse for our grandkids Cherrie accidentally took a step back and fell off the top edge, falling 9 feet to the ground resulting in breaking her back in two places and fracturing ribs, cracking her sternum, clavicle and other injuries like a collapsed lung.

Emergency surgery was done on the worst break and then after 6 weeks, in August, another surgery was performed to fix the second break.

On Christmas Day 2022 after feeling weaker and weaker for sometime she stood up to walk, her legs collapsed and she was unable to move them at all.

An ambulance came and within minutes and we were headed to the hospital.

I was told that if she had come in even one day later it would have been fatal.

The entire upper part of her back had a profuse amount of bacteria and infection. It was in every fiber of her back from the muscles, tissue to the bones and blood. Multiple strands of deadly bacteria had developed and coursed through her veins.

On January 13, 2023 new hardware was put in. Most of her back had to have an intensive fusion due to the damage from the infection.

After 85 days in the hospital and two rehab centers later she came home on March 22nd.

Our focus is on her recovery. Dealing with the pain, paralysis and the inability to move has been very hard for her. Being paralyzed from the ribs down comes with many challenges. She has made progress in movement, strength, and stabilization. There is a long road ahead but there is hope that she will walk again.

We all know Hope makes a difference.

The spinal cord only regenerates approximately a millimeter a month in which new nerve pathways are being built among other things.

Due to insurance limitation she stopped receiving physical therapy in July.

We now have the responsibility of doing physical therapy with her at home.  Physical Therapy is a crucial part of her recovery and walking again.  If you know Cherrie, she doesn’t sit still. The recovery is very difficult on her both physically and emotionally.  She is trying each day to create art, jewelry, and writing with the main focus for all of us is walking.

I simply want to ask you to consider donating to her recovery.   

There are many needs that are not covered as well as out-of-pocket costs. For example we are paying almost $1000 a month just for her medication.

The at home hospital/medical supplies, medications, and other day to day expenses, have brought an incredible challenge. Buying the correct home physical therapy equipment is essential for her recovery but it can be costly.

We hope to one day get a wheelchair-accessible van.

Cherrie’s whole life has been focused on helping others.  You can see this at hopemakesadifference.com

The proceeds from the art and jewelry she creates goes to support Hope.

Personal counseling to speaking to small groups as well as conference speaking to thousands have been her life and passion.  One of her greatest loves is the helping of children and parents in third world nations.  She is currently touching Malawi, Pakistan, India, Nicaragua along with others.

She has a vision of walking in Africa, where we help in Malawi, when she is 86 years old.

Thank you again for any donation towards her recovery.
