However, fate had a different plan in store for Denise. In August of 2022, she underwent back surgery and suffered significant complications. She has been left paralyzed from the chest down, turning her world upside down. While most would have been overwhelmed by despair, Denise’s spirit remains unyielding, her determination undiminished. Despite the hurdles she faces as a quadriplegic, Denise's is passionate about regaining her independence and walking again.

She has been in and out of various hospitals and rehabilitation facilities for a year now. She was forced to retire, sell her car and now her home to pay overwhelming medical bills. She yearns to be independent again and to share in life's joys with her loved ones. With a glimmer of hope in her eyes, Denise’s has set her sights on cutting-edge treatments that may offer a chance at regaining some mobility.
