Hi, my name is Becky and I'm raising funds for Michele. My husband and I are long-time customers at The Game, and have known Michele as long as we've been going there. Michele was recently in an accident that has torn all the ligaments in her right knee as well as torn muscles and tendons, and she also sustained a dislocated A/C joint (shoulder) as well as torn muscles to the left rotator cuff. She spent 8 days at Harborview before being able to come home (because she had a ground-floor entry). Michele is currently in physical therapy for her shoulder and is scheduled for major surgery on her knee/leg at the end of August. She remains wheelchair-bound for the foreseeable future. Needless to say, Michele is currently unable to work and needs help with Medical and Monthly Living Expenses.
Michelle has been a light in my life and I would like to return the favor. She continues to be upbeat and positive but is very concerned about how she will be able to afford her expenses now and moving forward. She does not know how long it will take her to recover from her injuries and surgery(ies), or when she'll be able to return to work. Best guess is at least 5 months as she has to be able to walk without help or a device.
With this fundraiser, I am hoping we can all pull together to ease her financial burden and let her focus on her healing and rehabilitation.
