Hi, my name is Crystal Bade and I've been a friend of Suzi's for 17 years. I have the pleasure of seeing her every week at the office and there's not a more fun loving individual out there. As you all know, Suzi holds an internal light that brightens any day and puts an instant smile on your face. She truly is a treasure to have as a friend.

Suzi has recently found out that she needs a fusion back surgery which is a much more invasive procedure than she was expecting. The surgery will result in hardware in her back and the recovery time is 4-6 months. During this time, her movement will be limited which will make everyday life very difficult and trips to the office a non-starter.

I'm asking that friends and family come together to help Suzi during this difficult time in her life. She has touched so many lives over the years and I hope that we can all come together to help make this experience a little easier for her. It does not matter how much you donate, anything will help. Let's help Suzi!
