Veronika is 3 -years old. She has been suffering from Fibrodysplacia, or sometimes known as “jello-bone.” It is an extremely rare disease of the connective tissue.  A mutation of the body’s repair mechanism causes fibrous tissue change into bone when damaged. In many cases, injuries can cause joints to become permanently frozen in place. Veronika has had over 20 surgeries on her right leg, which had to be amputated below the knee not long ago. Her mother, Glenda, is a single mom and has been struggling to keep work with her daughter’s constant need for medical attention. Veronika has not been able to experience the life that most children her age have, and she and her mother have been experiencing financial hardship for a long time.

 ZCare and Z93 are happy to be able to make a $500 donation to help fund the new leg that Veronika will be receiving this Friday, 8/22/08. Thank you so much to everybody who has helped to support ZCare, which allows us to help people like Veronika and her mom!

Cathy is a La Crosse native. She was living on Tyler Street with her 10-year-old son and 16-year-old daughter.  She is also the mother of 12-year-old twins. A fire broke out in her home in the early morning on their porch, and the downstairs neighbors had to pull their camper up to the window so the family could escape. She had no renters insurance and was searching for a job at the time. There is an account at Community Credit Union set up to help her and her family…donations can be sent there.
