8 Melissa Towns Springsteen
Hello, my name is Melissa. I am 40 years old, married and have four sons. I am a TB paraplegic due to an MVA when I was 15 years old. I was a cheerleader, softball player and active teenager. After my hospital and rehabilitation stays, I was able to return home. I continued to be on the cheerleading squad, coached Rocket Cheerleaders, graduated on time and traveled out of state for college. I was independent, strong-willed and determined not to let my SCI change my life. I was convinced that I was ok. If I did need help, I would only have family and close friends assist me. I had no desire to have a strangers help. Nope, no outside home health agency.
