Caring for Nancy Lower

Nancy is an extraordinary woman,   living and enjoying every day after 20 years of being paralyzed from the neck down. The usual life-span of people with quadriplegia is short and is even shorter for persons who are paralyzed later in life, like Nancy, who was in her early 60s when she had the accident while working as Head of Medical Services for the Peace Corps in Mauritania, West Africa.

Expenses for Nancy's care include paid workers, medication , and the expense of running our 2012 Dodge Wheelchair Van were $48,000 last year, and so we have set a goal of $48,000 for this year's fundraising appeal.
