My name is Heather, I'm 25 and from San Antonio, Texas. For four years now I
have been a C5 C7 quadriplegic. I'm sure everybody has heard about the fact that
Hurricane Katrina has hit people with disabilities pretty hard. I am from San
Antonio and we are getting a lot of the refugees. At this time a lot of the
disabled are without their wheelchairs and things that we need every day. I know
for one thing if I was without my wheelchair I don't know what I would do. I've
had several people contact me and tell me I should put something on my spinal
cord injury web site. I also wanted to do something through the yahoo groups
that I belong to. If you would like to donate money to help those affected
please let me know. If you donate even a dollar, in the end it will add up to a
lot! Everything counts! You can contact me through my instant messenger or by
e-mail. I will then let you know how you can donate. If you live near San
Antonio, Houston, Mississippi or Louisiana please let me know
if you would like to donate supplies or medical equipment.
Also just to let everybody know I have a Spinal Cord Injury web site. It is for
people with spinal cord injuries, their family, and others who work with people
with spinal cord injuries. Example physicians, advocates, etc.. At this time we
have 199 members! To tell you a little bit about it there is a forum, chat room,
member profiles, member stories, useful information, and resources. You can do a
search by: injury type, injury cause, state/province, and sex. If you would like
to sign up, you can go to
http://spinalresource.com/
I also have a Spinal Cord Injury Yahoo group
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/spinalresource/
Thank you for reading this! I hope you had a good Labor Day! I put my e-mail
address and yahoo screen name below my name. If you would like to donate you can
contact me anytime night or day. I'm usually on the computer until four in the
morning. If you have any questions regarding my web site or group let me know.
