We are reaching out to all of Cathy Ross's loved ones, friends and extended world family.



Our goal is to raise funding for her severe spinal condition.



A number of years ago Cathy was electrocuted and suffered extensive nerve and soft tissue damage, following this encounter with electricity, Cathy was injured in a motor vehicle accident which led to a number of nerve blocking treatments. Upon losing motor and bodily functions, corrective back surgery was chosen as a last resort.



Two discs were removed from Cathy's spine, as well as the back of two Vertebrae (L4 & L5) in order to relieve pressure. As a result of this surgery, Cathy's spine is no longer strong enough to hold up and support the upper part of her body, and the condition of her spine continues to weaken.



Cathy's condition has severely worsened over the past two years and she is no longer able to walk, and is now house and sofa bound. Cathy receives disability assistance which covers her shelter and general needs, but there is no available funding for items that would really help her situation such as an electric lift chair which has been recommended by her occupational therapist.



Cathy has made efforts to secure funding from ODSP, ON WORKS, MOD, ADP, CK Health and ROTARY, but has been denied as there are no active programs to finance these necessary items.



I am turning to Cathy's friends, family and extended world family to ask for your support, so that we can help improve Cathy's quality of life - please consider making a contribution.



Feel free to also post and share to help us reach our goal.



Thank you for all of your support!
