Rodney's Angels
Donation protected
#RodneysAngels Campaign to purchase a van to accommodate both me and my motorized wheelchair came to a successful conclusion this summer. Thank you to those who contributed, particularly my beloved Tulane Medical School Class of 1979. Your support and generosity are a blessing and I am truly grateful.
__________________________________________
In 1979 tragedy hit...
That fateful year, I was serving as a Pediatrician at Charity Hospital in New Orleans. During one of my shifts, a group of refugee children was brought into the Emergency Room. While in the midst of examining these young souls, I fell into a month-long coma. What caused my collapse and subsequent inability to talk or walk without assistance was not determined until five years later.
A rogue strain of the Polio virus had lodged onto my spine, attacking and irrevocably damaging my entire nervous and muscle systems.
The #RodneysAngel Campaign:
Accessibility Van = $26,000.00 (note payoff) + $10,000.00 (lift upgrade)
TOTAL: $36,000.00
Again, thank you for reading my story and for any contribution you are able to make.
I will continue to post updates as they occur, for you too now, are part of my journey.
I am Thankful.
I am Grateful.
God Bless.
