    A note from Bruce:  I am writing to you on behalf of RESCUE A NURSE, a group seeking to raise money for Debra, a nurse needing cervical disc surgery. Due to years of work as a nurse, Debra suffers from severe degeneration and stenosis in the C 5-6-7 discs in her neck.  She lives with constant pain, leg and arm numbness, and dizziness when driving her car.  Specialist have told her that inflammation from the damaged discs could soon affect her spinal cord and spinal fluid, taking away her mobility.  Specialists have also told her that the only way to get relief and save her mobility is cervical disc replacement.
Several years ago, because of her disabling neck symptoms, Debra had to leave her hospital employment and lost her health insurance.  Due to medical bills, she had to sell her home.  A significant part of her take-home pay goes to treat her neck condition.
In recent years, Debra earned a Master of Public Health degree.  It is her goal, God-willing, to undergo surgery, then to return to a career in public health.
Questions?  Contact Bruce Boye at 815-774-0594.
