 The Leinenbach Family Fund

Judy Leinenbach wife of Bud, and mother of Jacob age 9 and Katie age 7, spent the first 46 years of her life touching and improving the lives of others. On February 11, 2009, she suffered a neck injury that has left her paralyzed from the neck down. Now, this young mother from Richboro, Pennsylvania, who worked as a nurse, volunteered for her community, cared for the sick and loved and cherished her family, needs your help to obtain the assistance she needs as she works her way to recovery.

The Leinenbach family is surrounded by those who share their support and have joined in invaluable prayers. However, at this time Judy will need nursing care, extensive medical treatment, a modified home, a wheelchair and countless other everyday accommodations.

With the help of the D’Angelo foundation and your generous emotional and financial support, the Leinenbach family will have the resources necessary to ensure that Judy receives the care and physical support. In the next few weeks, Judy will undergo surgery and extensive rehab. We look forward to sharing her progress with you and we thank you for your support.


January 2010 Update

 
The April 9th Fundraiser has been postponed.  Future dates and details will follow.  We thank you for your ongoing support and generosity. Any donations made directly to the Leinenbach Fund will continue to be used to purchase rehabilitation equipment and the building fund set aside for the necessary renovations which are being determined at this time.  Again, thank you very much.




November 2009 Update

Judy has been home since April and has spent the summer going to and from Maghee Rehab Center.  She is stronger and very happy to be at home with her family.  At this point, Judy is adapting and learning how to best live as a quadriplegic.  She continues to need 24 hour assistance.  Needless to say, the demands, both physically and financially, are overwhelming.

 

Family and friends have begun working to host another fundraiser to help defray these costs and to begin to assist in planning for the long term.  The tentative date is FRIDAY, April 9th to be held at Canstatters in Philadelphia, PA.  With your help and support, this event can be as successful as last year. 

 

To each of you, the family again thanks you for your concern, assistance and prayers.

Thank You from the Leinenbachs

Words can not adequately express our gratitude.

 

We are overwhelmed by the support that has been sent our way since Judy suffered her injury.

 

We wish to thank everyone who has sent a donation through the D’Angelo Foundation.

 

We wish to thank all of those who volunteered to make the benefit such a success and also all who attended and contributed to the event on that special night.

 

Each spinal cord injury is unique.  No two injuries can be compared.  One person may experience almost total recovery while another with a similar injury may be paralyzed for life. 

 

One thing that is the same though is the enormous expenses that are associated with these types of injuries.

 

Through your generosity, we will be able to defray some of the expenses for Judy’s medical and therapeutic care that will not be covered by insurance. 

 

The road to recovery will be long and arduous.  The reality is that we are facing a lifetime journey of ongoing physical and medical therapy.  The journey has started.

 

Judy was discharged from Magee Rehabilitation Hospital on April 28.

 

Today, she starts her outpatient therapy at Magee Riverfront on Columbus Boulevard in South Philadelphia.  Her spirits are high, she is determined to work hard and maintain a positive mental attitude.  She will do everything in her power to accomplish her goal of regaining mobility so that she can take care of her family again.

 

Keep her and our family in your prayers.

 

We will continue to update you on her progress.

 

Again, thank you all so much for your kindness, compassion, and generosity.

 

 

                                                        The Leinenbachs

                                                        Bud, Judy, Jacob, and Katie
