Richelle Gray, Beloved Gym Coach Needs Your Help

Donation protected
Richelle Gray, a lifelong resident of Meridian, is best known for her 42 years of coaching gymnastics at Pat Gray Academy where she impacted the lives of hundreds of children. She is an active member at Northcrest Baptist Church where she volunteers with Vacation Bible School and Love Out Loud (LOL).

On Friday, September 1, 2023, Richelle will be facing a very serious surgery in Jackson, MS at Baptist Medical Center. She will be having a below-the-knee amputation of her left leg due to a chronic bone infection. Following the surgery, she will transfer to Methodist Rehabilitation Center for two weeks.

Once Richelle's physicians feel she has recovered appropriately from the amputation, she will then require additional surgery on her neck to relieve a spinal cord compression which is causing loss of mobility in her arms and hands. The doctors have made it clear that if this is not addressed, it can lead to permanent paralysis, therefore both of these surgeries are an absolute necessity.

Money for medical bills and everyday expenses is a true burden for Richelle and her family. We are not only asking for your prayers but donations as well to her GoFundMe account as she faces these upcoming challenges. Please help ease these financial burdens for Richelle so she can focus on her recovery.

Thank you and God bless you all.
Angela Hill Skelton and Allen Skelton
