Jackie Needs Our Help-By FEI Dallas

Jackie Dunn manages the operations for the FEI Dallas Chapter.  She recently sustained an injury which has resulted in an infection in her finger bone, a condition called osteomyelitis.  She needs immediate medical treatment in the hopes to win the fight against the infection before it progresses to the point where amputation is the only remaining option.

Every day she doesn’t get the medication she needs, the likelihood of amputation increases.  There is currently a 50-60% chance the IV medication will be effective.  If the medication does not work, amputation is her only alternative to prevent the infection from spreading.  

All donations will be directed toward medical bills, rehabilitation, and repayment of an emergency medical loan by FEI Dallas.  Should she be blessed enough to raise more money than is needed for this procedure, all funds not used will go to the FEI Dallas Chapter’s Scholarship Fund honoring past president Dr. Constantine “Connie” Konstans.
