young Spinal Cord patient in Grand Rapids Michigan seeks acup.

[Guest guest]

Dear colleagues,

 

I am reaching out for a friend with Spinal Cord injury, in need of

acupuncture care.

 

Kirk is a strong, vibrant, and amazingly self-less human being. A devoted

long-time high-school P.E. teacher (Michigan state PE Teacher-of-the-year

and Innovator-of-the-year) who has donated thousands of hours giving to the

community. Late in 2008, a serious accidental fall left him with fractured

C4-5, unconscious, and instantly paraplegic. He laid on the ground for 6.5

hours before he was found.

 

His recovery thus far has been nothing short of miraculous. All friends and

family have been amazed by his positive attitude towards this catastrophic

injury.

Because budget is an issue (first year expense is $200,000 for a guy with a

teacher's salary), I would like to reach out to the community to see if

there is a way for him to receive free or low-cost acupuncture in Grand

Rapids area. As we all know, the sooner we can get acupuncture treatment to

the patient, the better his chances of recovery. Does anybody have

recommendations for how he might be able to gain access to low-cost

acupuncture care?

 

Might the school in Grand Rapids be an option? I appreciate any of your

suggestions.

 

Thanks much!

The school in Grand Rapids is a 6 month program not accredited, very

controversial. A big source of contention politically.
