In 2000, Melissa “Murf” Becker was given a defective mesh implant in which her body rejected. She has undergone 7 different surgeries to remove the mesh, that her doctors have labeled “chicken wire”, all of the surgeries have failed.
She has developed multiple problems, she suffers from Celiac’s Disease, pelvic pain, chronic long term pain and neuropathy.

Melissa is now confined to a wheel chair because the simple act of walking is extremely painful. She has seen many doctors who refuse to operate due to the complexity of the mesh implant in her body.
After extensive research she found a top doctor in Tennessee who is willing to perform surgery. However, insurance companies will not cover expenses and it’s been to long to take the makers of this “chicken wire” to court.
The benefit will help to lessen the costs that Melissa will incur for her surgery and stay.
