Natalie Wilson
Natalie Wilson, a determined individual whose life took an unexpected turn on 2/21/21 when she suffered a T4 Complete, Asia A spinal cord injury while sled riding, shares her profound gratitude for the invaluable support provided by the Be Perfect Foundation. Natalie's accident left her with six broken ribs, two collapsed lungs, and a catastrophic spinal cord injury. In her time of need, Be Perfect stepped in, offering her a lifeline to regain her independence and active lifestyle.
Through the generous grant from Be Perfect, Natalie can now access therapy at Bachik Methods (React-Neuro-Rehab) and even explore the possibility of acquiring a Galileo Vibrating Plate for home rehabilitation. This assistance has not only aided in her physical recovery but has also instilled a renewed sense of hope in her life. She recognizes that Medicaid and waivers often fall short in covering the therapy and equipment necessary for her rehabilitation, making Be Perfect's support all the more vital.
Natalie's resilience shines through her achievements since her injury. Over the past 2.5 years, she graduated from high school, obtained her Cosmetology license, learned to drive using hand controls, and launched her career as a nail technician—all while dedicating approximately 16 hours a week to therapy. Her unwavering determination is a testament to her spirit and the impact of Be Perfect's support.
Looking ahead, Natalie envisions further progress with Be Perfect's assistance. She anticipates attending Bachik Methods for two weeks to explore new therapy methods and set new goals. Acquiring a Galileo Vibrating Plate for home use is poised to enhance the efficiency and quality of her therapy sessions.
In closing, Natalie extends her heartfelt thanks to the donors who have made her journey towards recovery possible. She is immensely grateful for their unwavering support, which offers her the best chance at achieving her goals and regaining her independence through the most effective therapy available.
