Dove was diagnosed with transverse myelitis over a year ago and remains paralyzed still today. On February 24, 2012, Dove woke with a stiff neck and by noon had become paralyzed from the neck down. She was diagnosed with transverse myelitis at Presbyterian Hospital. The doctors told her mother that in the last 10 years they have seen only ten cases like Dove's.
The St. Francis Youth Ministryis already busy giving a helping hand at the Finleyville Food Bank or taking meals to a Ronald McDonald House. On hearing about Dove’s health problem, they decided to take on one more challenge – help making Dove’s life a bit better. Mary Jane Jurofcik is the leader of the Ministry and also helps in caring for Dove to give her family a break.
