Help Thelma Take Steps to Recovery

We are friends of Thelma Anele who in late July tore her ACL while playing sports. Thelma, who always inspired us to do our best in exercising and staying fit, is now currently unable to walk without crutches, stand for more than a few minutes at a time, or even get out of bed without help. As a current international student, Thelma has had to put her education on hold as she takes the time to recover from her injury. Thelma received surgery for her ACL at the end of August, but is struggling to pay the medical bills. All of the pre-operative evaluations, surgery, and physical therapy sessions have added up to a sum that threaten to put Thelma at risk of being in medical debt and unable to pay for her rent or her school tuition. If the goals of this fundraiser are met, Thelma will be able to pay for her treatments that will get her back to being the fitness icon we know and love. She hopes to be able to recover as soon as possible so she can get back on track and complete her final semester of university. Thank you for any support!
