About Me
Lisa LeAnn Dalton needs your help right now.She was one of the most powerful and engaging dancers on stage dancing with passion, precisions, dedication, power and beauty for over 20 years. She has recently suffered and catastrophic injury and can use your help, love, Prayers and support at this time.As we know, Lisa Dalton is one if the strongest woman that was ever born. She was an amazing dancer, dancing for Martha Clarke, Mark Dendy "Dendydance", Pilobolus, Elizabeth Streb, had her own company Dalton Hartel Dance, with Austin Hartel for years creating and dancing in some of the most beautiful dances. She co-created the Terry Dean and Lisa LeAnn put on a show!!! Series in NYC for years... well, she retired and went back to Texas to be close to her family and work with horses. She was Rookie of the Year in 2003 for bareback bronc riding, and keep getting better and better at it, winning competition after competition.On October 13th, Lisa broke her neck in a riding accident in Denver CO. She was in the hospital in Denver for the first week. She was paralyzed from the neck down for most of the days in Denver, but slowly started to regain some minimal movement of her arms from the shoulder. After that week she was transferred to the Baylor Rehab Facility in Dallas. She is improving a little every day but
this is going to take a lot of patience and energy. She is able to
shuffle her feet with the use of a walker, but really cannot use the right side of her body at this time. Her right leg and hand are not responding much and the coordination is very off.For anyone, this is a devastating situation...for Lisa, unimaginable.
She was released from the hospital last Friday, Nov. 9th, but cannot
be left alone and needs someone present 24 hours a day.The tragedy is compounded by the fact that her health insurance will not adequately cover her therapy cost. They will only cover one month of physical therapy from her release date and at that only pay for 60% of it. Lisa is going to need months and months
of therapy to recover some semblance of her former self. She is
becoming depression as the reality of her situation is striking home to her mind.For all of those who know and love Lisa, she urgently needs your support and help right now. She also needs all of the support from her community, friends people who know her, have seen her dance or are just moved to help in any way possible. So I am asking you all for help. Every $50 dollars we can raise, will cover some
of the cost of a physical therapy session or therapeutic massage. If
you can help her financially at this time that would be great, if not could you send her a card of support, we urge you to let her know you are thinking about her and that you love her.Contributions, cards ect. can be sent to:Lisa Dalton
PO BOX 151633
FORTH WORTH, TX 76108Every $50.00 that she gets is equal to one physical therapy session.A paypal account is being created, so that you can contribute over the internet. This information will be posted here soon.
We will be posting updates periodically.
