SPARTA — As a 53-year-old healthy and active woman of faith, Robin Slate was not someone anyone could foresee suffering from a stroke.
Since March 10, however, she has been on the slow and painful road to recovery. She remains permanently disabled, struggling daily with loss of motion and aphasia, or loss of language ability.
Receiving no governmental support and unable to work, Robin and her family have faced many emotional and financial hardships over the past half-year. After spending six months in medical facilities, she and her family have been hit hard with large medical bills.
To honor Robin Slate, Takacs Wellness Center, the Knights of Columbus and Nothing Is Impossible, Inc. will be hosting a fundraiser to help cover the family’s outstanding medical expenses and educate her community about stroke symptoms. Through the dissemination of information, the Slate family and these organizations hope to help community members recognize the warning signs of a stroke so that their families can avoid similar pain and suffering.
On Friday, Nov. 30, the Robin Slate Foundation invites the community to a night of dinner, dancing and a silent auction at McKenna Hall in Sparta, starting at 6 p.m. The cost is $25 per person and all proceeds will go directly to the foundation. Checks should be made out to Nothing is Impossible, Inc. and "The Slate Fund" should be written on the memo line. They can be mailed to The Robin Slate Foundation at 82 Route 15, Lafayette, NJ 07848.
RSVPs are requested by Nov. 19 by emailing robinslatefoundation@gmail.com or calling Brielle at 973-670-7002. Also, join the Facebook page at Make It a Date for Robin Slate.
Give us a call to schedule a free consultation to figure out how we can help you achieve your health and wellness goals with Dr. Takacs at 973.383.5052. For location and hours visit us at www.DrTakacs.com or like us on Facebook at Takacs Wellness Center. We are conveniently located in the center of Sussex County at 82 Route 15 in Lafayette near Sparta, Newton, Hampton, Branchville, Wantage, Hardyston and Hamburg.
