The Northeast Spinal Cord Injury Fund in Honor of David Hudgik

A spinal cord injury is one of the most physically and financially devastating injuries a person can sustain. There is no cure for spinal cord injury. Hopefully one day there will be. Until then David is faced with thousands of dollars in medically-related expenses every year. The average yearly cost associated with a C4-C5 spinal cord injury such as David's is $138,000. Insurance helps with some of the costs, but there are still significant long-term out-of-pocket expenses.

The Northeast Spinal Cord Injury Fund provides funds for David's uninsured, medically-related expenses. David faces many obstacles as he strives for a semi-independent lifestyle. It is through your generous contributions and participation in fundraising events in honor of David that he is able stay headed in a positive direction.
