Central Florida Events

Post by Whitney28791 »

Hello Everyone...I am a 19 year old female with Erbs Palsy of the left arm...I am actually just wondering about camps and other events in Central Florida because I would definately be interested in volunteering at events. I am from a very small town and recently moved to Orlando Florida and I believe that there will be more opportunities for me to work with children with BPI and Erbs Palsy in a larger city. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate your help...Thanks.

Hey I live in Orlando and have a brachial plexus injury to my right arm. The doctor destroyed my nerves during my birth. I would like to meet someone with my same condition as me. If you are interested that would be great. You can reply here or if you have AOL IM my screenname is RahsMight. Hope to hear from you.
