Help Tanelle After Her Surgery

Donation protected
Tanelle suffered a spinal cord injury 5 years ago in a recreational accident which has left her paralyzed from the chest down and bound to a wheelchair. On July 8th, 2019 the hardware in Tanelle's back broke and she has been living with broken hardware in her back ever since. On February 21st, 2020 Tanelle is finally scheduled for surgery to have all the hardware removed. 

The money will be used to help Tanelle financially during her downtime while she recovers from surgery. Rehabilitation, physiotherapy and any other means of recovery are not financially supported. Any financial assistance during this time is appreciated more than you could ever imagine.
Here is some background info on Tanelle;

Tanelle took it upon herself to start a charity called RAD Recreation Adapted Society after her injury. Her mission is to help individuals with short term and permanent mobility issues to lead independent active lifestyles with family and friends by providing an inventory of adaptive sporting and outdoor equipment for low-cost short and long term rental purposes.
Tanelle is a barrier free design consultant who is actively working to make the world a more accessible place for those with mobility challenges.
Tanelle is Canada's first Female Wheelchair Bodybuilder.
Last year Tanelle completed a 250 km journey by kayak and hand cycle through the West Kootenays of British Columbia.
This May Tanelle will be putting an adaptive team of hand cyclists in the first adaptive gravel Gran Fondo from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk, Yukon, Canada.
Tanelle has a YouTube channel called Pro Tips For Paras where she and other wheelie great people talk about daily living tasks, rant on 'the system', and showcase the tips and tricks they use to go about their lives in the most 'normal' way possible. This channel is not just for paraplegics but for everyone wishing to further their education and gain a perspective in adversity before reaching it themselves. 
Tanelle is also an Educator, All Access Recreation Consultant, Disability Advocate, Bronze Medal Holder for Canada in Adaptive Surfing and Canada’s Only Competitive Paraplegic Golfer.
Tanelle enjoys living life to the fullest so lets help her get back into action as quickly as possible so she can continue to get out there and crush it!

I want to see Tanelle continue to live life as best she can. I want to see her fulfill her goals and aspirations while staying true to her mission of being an inspiration for so many people with mobility challenges.
