Iris Barajas
“I am very grateful to all of you, thanks to you me and many other people that were helped by The Be Perfect Foundation are able to continue with our recovery.”
My name is Iris Barajas and I suffered a T9- L1 spinal injury on November 4, 2016 after I fell 3 stories up off of a balcony.
The Be Perfect Foundation has given me a scholarship to be part of The Perfect Step, where every day in every session I work on the recovery of my damage nervous system due to my injury. Without the Be Perfect Foundation help, I wouldn’t be able to afford this training program that I’m hoping it’ll help me to walk without leg braces. I know is a long road but thanks to B.P.F. I know every day I’m closer to reaching my goal.
After the doctors told me that I would never move my legs again, the B.P.F. community, the trainers and the client’s testimonials have made me believe in my self and what I can do. As long as I’m persistent and do my best during my sessions on top of being self-motivated I know I can continue on my way to recovery.
The methods that are used at TPS are for our specific needs, and the facility is very well equipped. I love the kindness of all the staff here and how professional they are.
I don’t use the wheelchair anymore. I use the braces and the walker even to walk long distances.
I would like to recover the movement and the strength in my legs and stop using the braces so that I can be independent and go back to school.
I use to like traveling and going to university.
I value everything in life now, especially health and the things that matter the most like family and friends.
THANK YOU to all the donors for the amazing help, for giving me hope and for the opportunity to put me in a wonderful program that, I wouldn’t be able to do without your help. I am very grateful to all of you, because of you, me and many other people that were helped by B.P.F. are able to continue with our recovery.
