Hi! My name is MaryBeth Ritenour, I am a friend and colleague of Carolyne's. As some of you may know, on February 7, 2025, Carolyne was involved in a very serious car accident. She was a passenger in a pickup truck that was hit head on by a tractor trailer. She was airlifted to Gutherie Hospital in Sayre, PA.

She sustained multiple very serious injuries. She spent the first two weeks in ICU in the hospital in Pennsylvania, where multiple emergency surgeries were performed. Her family was traveling back and forth to ensure she had loved ones by her side, and to provide the support she desperately needed. Once she was able to be moved, she was then transferred to long term care on February 21, 2025, to continue her healing process.

As a self-employed individual, her inability to work puts an enormous stress on her family to help keep her bills paid, both at home and the office. The family has not been given any idea of when she will be able to receive rehab, due to the extensive nature of her injuries. At this time, she is just getting the care she needs to enable her body to heal.

Her office staff is working hard to keep her office open for those needing supplements.

Carolyne has been a staple in the wellness community for over 30 years, helping others with their health challenges, enabling them to have a better quality of life. She is always there to help others, even outside the office, and now she finds herself in a situation of needing help herself.

I have set this up, to offer those of you who have asked to donate, an opportunity to do so. Her healing journey is going to be a long and hard one, so any support, no matter how small will be greatly appreciated. All funds will come to Carolyne, to enable her to keep all bills paid.
