The Story of Our Foundation's Founding

Our Founder was first diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) in February of 2015. After misdiagnosis, almost losing her life four times due to botched surgeries, and severe withdrawals due to many repeated denials of treatments and medications from the Workers Compensation system, her CRPS went from the original injury of a fractured left foot to full body, including her intestinal tract and other internal organs. Though every day was a continuous fight, whether because of the Workers Compensation system or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), she never gave up. When she lost both her parents in 2018, she hit rock bottom, but with the help and support of her attorney, doctors, family, and friends, she decided it was time to make a change and fight!

In May of 2020, she organized a Board of Directors from 8 different states and internationally, who all have the same passion and drive as she does to help other Warriors. Through dedication and determination, the CRPS Warriors Foundation was born. With the support of her attorney, doctors, family, friends, and a great team she can see her dream become a reality! Her belief is no Warrior should ever be turned down for treatments, medications, transportation, or medical equipment because insurance companies reject requests or lack coverage. It is time for a change, and she is hoping this foundation is the beginning for that change!
