August 2009, I sustained an injury to my right foot and ankle and after several months of various doctor visits and physical therapy, they finally determined that I have a rare nerve damage injury called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome aka RSDS (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome). RSDS is an injury disease. For more information on RSDS you can go to this website South Texas Innovative Medicine.

If left untreated the pain can spread throughout the entire body. It has already spread to my hip and is starting up the right side of my back. Dr. Rhodes at South Texas Innovative Medicine specializes in treating patients with this syndrome and has a 90% success rate. Treatments however must be done at the clinic in Corpus Christi, TX for 15 consecutive days and is extremely expensive. I needed to raise between $8,000 - $10,000 for the treatments, housing, food, airfare, and transportation while in Texas.

Auction Items Needed!

I'm starting to get a few calls from people who really want to help and donate their time and services. If you or a friend or family member would like to donate an item that would be so much appreciated! Links to your own websites will be posted on this blog and I will promote you like crazy! Really any items are appreciated, even a little gift basket to sporting event tickets. I am just so grateful for all the love and support!
Please contact me to donate an item for the auction which will be held on March 6 at 7 - 9 PM. A nursery will be provided if you need to bring your children. (Exact location TBA soon!)
