Help Angela Meadows Overcome Scoliosis and Recover

TO ALL OF YOU WHO KNOW MY DAUGTHER, ANGELA MEADOWS, YOU KNOW WHAT A KIND, CARING, AND COMPASSIONATE PERSON SHE IS. I AM BLESSED TO HAVE HER AS MY DAUGHTER. ANGELA IS A SOCIAL WORKER AND HAS WORKED AT OUR CHURCH, JUBILEE BAPTIST, IN DAPHNE, AL, FOR 7 YEARS AS THE MOM'S DAY OUT DIRECTOR. SHE LOVED ALL CHILDREN THAT WENT THROUGH THAT PROGRAM AND THEY LOVED HER. SHE HAS WORKED WITH NURSING HOME PATIENTS AS WELL AS WITH HOPSICE AND NOW WITH THOMAS HOSPITAL REHABILITATION. SHE ALWAYS GREETS HER PATIENTS WITH A SMILE AND GOES BEYOND THAT TO MAKE SURE THEY GET THE BEST CARE POSSIBLE, EVEN THOUGH SHE IS IN CONSTANT PAIN.

I AM BLESSED TO HAV E A DAUGHTER WHO LOVES HER LORD AND HER FAMILY. SHE IS NOT ONLY MY DAUGHTER, SHE IS MY BEST FRIEND.

IT IS WITH A HEAVY HEART THAT I SHARE A VERY DIFFICULT HEALTH PROBLEM. ANGELA HAS A SEVERE BACK SCOLIOSIS IN HER SPINE. SHE HAS 78 DEGREE CURVATURE AND HER VERTEBRA ARE COLLAPSING IN ON THEMSELVES IN HER BACK. SHE IS IN SEVERE PAIN EVERYDAY AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. SHE GETS UP EVRYDAY, PUTS ON A SMILING FACE AND GOES TO WORK NOT KNOWING IF THIS IS THE DAY HER BACK WILL BREAK.

RECENTLY THE PAIN HAS BECOME MORE SEVERE AND HER LIFE IS BEING THREATENED BECAUSE OF IT.

DOCTORS AT UAB HAVE INFORMED HER THAT HER SPINE CAN NO LONGER SUPPORT HER BODY.

ON JANUARY 3RD SHE WILL HAVE EXTENSIVE SURGERY THAT COULD TAKE AS LONG AS 10 HOURS WITH A TEAM OF DOCTORS AND ANGIE FACES A LONG RECOVERY.

ANGELA IS THE ONLY MEANS OF SUPPORT FOR HER TWO CHILDREN AT THIS TIME. SHE IS LOVED AND SUPPORTED BY HER FAITH, FAMILY, AND FRIENDS. WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS. IF YOU FEEL LED, PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING HER THROUGH THIS JOURNEY BY DONATING TO THIS FUNDRAISER.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND ENCOURAGEMENT. WE ARE TRUSTING GOD AND KNOW THAT GOD WILL BE GLORIFIED IN ALL OF THIS.
