Tracy Riddle is paralyzed and needs our help

A dear and talented friend and classmate, Tracy Riddle, Class of 1980, has suffered a debilitating back injury which has rendered her partially paralyzed and unable to walk. She has been hospitalized and will remain so until she shows improvement after her surgery. It will be a long and difficult rehabilitation. Not only has this been a life-changing, sudden physical setback, it has created a great financial hardship. Due to the fact she is self employed she is not eligible for most financial assistance. Right now, it is clear she will not be able to work for quite some time.

In Tracy’s younger years, she was a dancer and singer. Her mother, Aloha, had a school of dance where Tracy also taught dancing during her high school years. Tracy danced professionally and performed on stage and cruise ships as a singer in several successful country-western and R & B bands of her own.

In her later years, Tracy’s career as a Realtor has enabled her to also continue to perform as a singer with her own bands. She has always taken care of her family, and as with many, she has been my most loyal friend..

Her love of animals is almost unsurpassed. In the last few years she has adopted/rescued two standard horses and two mini horses. Her Husky dog is the light of her life and misses her dearly. Friends and family are helping with the care of Tracy’s animals while she concentrates on the battle ahead of learning to walk again.

If you are able, and wish to help in any way, please consider this GoFundMe opportunity.

We would be so grateful if you would share this with others. Thank you.
