Christine's Hope

Hello, my name is Christine Rizzotti, and I suffered a massive stroke more than 3 years ago. I lost the use of my left side including my ability to walk, use my arm, my left hand. I fight every day to regain the use of my left side. I cannot fold or hang clothes; I cannot walk without extreme pain and my knee severely hyper extends. It is exceedingly difficult to do anything. I cannot even hold my grandchildren.

At the time of the stroke, I was in the best physical shape of my life! Now, my life is convincing myself to get out of bed and trying to psyche myself up with positivity to get dressed, with one arm, and then spend the rest of the day basically like ”Groundhog Day”, just sitting and waiting for my husband to come home and do the normal daily activities that I used to do.

I found a facility here in NH that helps cure people with paralysis, stroke, CP, and spinel cord injuries. It is called, Project Walk. I know this sounds like a wild fantasy, but it is true! I have read the testimonials, I have spoken with Bill, founder of Annie’s Angels, who has witnessed the miracles that happen at Project Walk, including watching Paralympian Victoria Arlen go from a wheelchair to nearly winning the TV show Dancing With the Stars!

Annie’s Angels has paid for my evaluation and is paying for my first 5 therapy appointments. It is up to me to pay for the remaining 19 visits, about $2500.00. This is not covered by my insurance, so I am asking YOU, my family, and friends to help me realize this dream. 

I have struggled through a stroke, the rehab, heart surgery to repair the hole in my heart that caused the stroke, more rehab, I now have HOPE! I now have VISION!  Now, my journey can come FULL CIRCLE!
