Kim's Amputee Coalition Conference

Donation protected
My name is Sherry Quick-Durst and I am  Kimberly Parson's cousin. I want to help her make it to the National Convention for Amputees Coalition in Tuscon, Arizona.

This conference is geared toward helping amputee's with strategies for ways to deal with their conditions, much needed networking with specialists and others with similar conditions and learning of the newest technology.

For those that don't know, Kim is a quad amputee. She survived sepsis but not before it took all of her limbs. She has continued with a positvie attitude that continues to inspire many.  With all she has been through learning these skills would mean so much to her and helping her with raising her 3 young children.

I have done an estimate of what the costs would be  for her to attend with a caregiver and the high end cost is $4500.00 and low end is $3600.00. This covers hotel, airfare, meals and incidentals.

If we surpass our goal amount we will put the money with Kim to add to her better prosthetics fund and for other things to make her life easier and more adaptable for amputees (i.e. a bidet-something most of us would not think of as a necessity).

Here is a link to a news story done on her:

You can also follow her on her Facebook page: Kimmy's Care
I pray that you help me in this endeavor to give this young amazing woman a chance to go on this trip and possibly even donate toward better prosthetics. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

God Bless and please feel free to share this. Let's make this a reality!
