Dennis Crawford

​Dennis who had been a truck driver for over 20 years had a devastating, life-altering accident. He was delivering on a gas truck that day along Windy Bush Road in Newtown when his truck slipped off the road and rolled. Dennis suffered a C5 Spinal cord injury leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. Dennis was the sole provider to his wife and three children so the impact of this was beyond imaginable. Dennis spent close to 9 months in the hospital and Magee Rehab before he could come home and start putting the pieces of his new normal together as a husband and father living with a spinal cord injury. We were honored to provide some much-needed financial assistance so his family could focus on Dennis’ recovery.

Mia Andrilla

​In August of 2021, Mia, a 19-year-old from South Philadelphia, was just beginning her morning on August 11 when she felt her arm go numb. This numbness rapidly progressed to full paralysis from the shoulders down. Mia had suffered a spinal stroke, an extremely rare and serious medical emergency, affecting her C2-C4 cervical vertebrae. Unable to move her arms and legs, Mia’s life has been drastically altered in an instant. Mia, a typical teenager, was set to begin her second year of college at Temple University. She had been enjoying her summer, taking Jersey shore trips, working out at the gym with her mom, catching up on Netflix, and hanging out with her friends when the unimaginable happened. Mia, her parents, and two brothers are facing a long and difficult road with this devastating diagnosis.

Stephanie Cody

In April of 2021, an accident left Stephanie in a wheelchair as a Tetraplegic and her life changed forever.  As you can imagine, the financial burden to her and her mother, Bonnie, to modify their home and lives to meet her needs was overwhelming to say the least.  One of Caroline's previous nurses that we keep in contact with over the years is a friend of their family and reached out to us.  We're so happy we were able to provide some financial relief in their time of need.

 "I just wanted to say I love everything you guys do, it’s truly amazing. I am 6 months, paralyzed from the chest down, and the way things happened for me are just awful.
