Support
There are so many ways that people are supporting Marla in her recovery.
Her family has been overwhelmed by the number of people whose lives Marla
has touched including colleagues, students, teachers, friends and family. So
many have come to visit her, and have sent cards, letters, books, flowers,
music, stuffed animals and love. The outpouring of support for Marla is a
true indication of what a precious jewel is reflected in Marla's spirit.
If you would like to support Marla,
the best and first way is to pray for her, and send her positive,
healing energy. Marla is being prayed for by people across the country
and even the world. We know that Marla's recovery is blessed by these
prayers.
With the extent of Marla's injuries and the slow but steady
rehabilitation requirements associated with a brain injury, Marla's
medical expenses outweigh the benefits available to her under her
health coverage. Marla continues to require on-going care and
intensive outpatient
physical, occupational, and speech therapy.
If you would like to help to defray Marla's medical expenses, several
opportunities are listed below.
