Over these past nine months, Rochelle has been focused on her healing - and has made great strides forward. From relearning how to eat, to talk, and to walk, to consistently working on reactivating her left arm and leg, she continues to advance in her recovery. Her progress up to now is due in no small part to the amazing community that has come together to support her along the way in this journey.
Now, we must call upon her community once again. Earlier this month, Rochelle learned that a rehab device called the Bioness H200 that is likely to significantly accelerate the healing of her left arm - one which was enthusiastically recommended by her therapists and doctors as being shown to be effective in multiple research studies - is not covered by her insurance. And without insurance, this advanced rehab device costs around $5,000. That means that for her to have this effective treatment to help in her recovery, we will need to come together to raise the funds required. Additionally, while she has applied for SSDI, that approval process typically takes months, and she continues to need support in paying her monthly bills.
So, we hope that you will contribute again if you are able. But, even more importantly, we hope that you will reach out to others in your network and encourage them to donate as well, as reaching this goal is obviously a big lift and will take all of us who love Rochelle to do all we can to make this a reality for her. We are also open to ideas for events or other fundraisers to support resching this goal: from holding a bake sale to throwing a fabulous event, no idea or effort is too big or too small. Thank you once more for your support of this incredible leader and person.
