Help Mary Get A New Brace!
Donation protected
Hello everyone! Mary Thackeray (Sanderson) needs our help to get a new brace for her leg. I know we all love Mary and know that she would do anything for us, so let’s help her out the best we can by donating or sharing. Here is a note from her:
“As you are all aware, I have a bad knee from an accident I had when I was 17. I had completely dislocated my leg from my knee and have had over 7 surgeries just to save my leg. I have drip foot, nerve damage and I have had an artery replaced in my leg. This has and always will affect me for the rest of my life.
I have always worn a knee brace although many people do not notice until I wear shorts or over my pants. The only time I do not wear it is around my house.
I am in need of a new knee brace but they are expensive and I can not just buy one off of the internet due to the shape of my leg. I have to have a custom made knee brace. Unfortunately insurance will not pay for it and I can’t do payments.
I am asking for help now because because recently I had reinjured my knee and was not walking for 10 weeks. The injury wasn’t as severe as it was the furst time but it is another injury on top.
I know it is alot to ask for help from other people and it is not my thing to ask especially when it comes to my life but, it is something I need to have. I am always willing to answer any questions if anyone has any. This would be much appreciated to me and my family, thank you.“
