    Join us and help Arizona's number one cowgirl entertainer, Pistol Packin' Paula, with her medical and recovery expenses at a gala event hosted by Gary Martinson. This star studded fund raising evening event will feature world class 'Best of the West' entertainers, live music, Western celebrities, 100's of silent and live auction items, door prizes, catered food and a full cash bar. Paula Saletnik, aka 'Pistol Packin' Paula', was recently involved in a severe automobile accident, from which she sustained extremely serious bodily injury. During the evening of Thursday, January 10, Paula struck a deer while driving on a county highway near her home in Boerne, Texas. As she swerved to miss the animal, her truck rolled countless times and was thrown from the vehicle through the driver side window. Hours later, she regained consciousness and found herself lying several feet from her up-turned, totaled truck. Realizing she needed to call for help, she discovered her cellular phone was missing from it's holder. Unable to move, she was encouraged when Pepper, her beloved dog, ran nearly a mile to a nearby farmhouse to get help. It was at this exact time that Paula's landlord called her. Fortunately, she was able to reach the 'ringing'cell phone, that miraculously was lying near her knee, truly a Godsend!... An ambulance arrived on the scene shortly thereafter, a nd she was transported to a nearby 'Flight for Life' location. She was then airlifted by helicopter to the University Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. Paula's diagnosed injuries included a broken sternum and pelvis (both sides, front and back), cracked ribs and fractures to three vertebrae. A surgical procedure was performed on Tuesday, January 15, with several permanent pins implanted. Her Doctors are hopeful for a full recovery, however, this will take several months or years of therapy, determination and possible further surgeries. Paula is very fortunate to be staying with friends for the next several months, who will assist her in her therapy and long road to recovery. One of her Biggest challenges she faces, will be her ever-mounting medical expenses. This is where we can all help!
