On Monday, August 25th, while running an errand and driving through a neighborhood in Dallas, Maisie Marsau's life changed in an instant. A large tree suddenly fell from a yard onto her car, causing catastrophic damage and trapping her inside for over an hour.

By the grace of God, Maisie’s six-month-old daughter was not with her that day. She was rushed to Baylor Hospital in Dallas, where doctors discovered that she had sustained multiple spinal fractures, including breaks to her C1 and C4–C5 vertebrae.

Maisie has since been admitted to the world-renowned Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Georgia, where she is receiving specialized spinal cord rehabilitation. Her current prognosis is a complete C5 spinal cord injury, and while the road ahead is long and uncertain, her determination is unwavering and the hope for progress remains strong.

Originally from Laurel, Mississippi, Maisie enrolled at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) in 2011, where she joined Tri Delta sorority. It was there she met her future husband and soulmate, Jack Marsau, from Atlanta, who pledged Phi Delta Theta fraternity and later earned his master’s degree in accounting in 2016.

The Epsilon Xi Chapter of Sigma Nu Fraternity Charity Bowl, Inc. (EIN 83-2574778) proudly supports Maisie and her family, as well as Blair E. Batson Children’s Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi, and the William Magee Center for Wellness Education at Ole Miss. The organization is a registered 501(c)(3) Private Foundation and a recognized charity with the Mississippi Secretary of State.

Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and prayers as we support Maisie and her family on this challenging journey toward healing and hope.
