Help Katie get her back surgery!

Donation protected
So I've been living with some pretty bad lower back pain for the last year and a half. Last month it finally got to the point where it went down into left leg and I had trouble walking. My leg even started going numb. Turns out I have a ruptured lower disc, and its compressing 75% of my spine! It REALLY hurts! I can't sit for very long and can only lay on my side for a little while before the pain becomes to much and I have to move.

My doctor said I NEED surgery...ok no problem! I have insurance! However, found out today I have to pay the deductable of $3,250 before they will even TOUCH me....My surgery is scheduled in 4 days, and they let me know this TODAY. I applied for a Care Credit card, but they don't accept that. I asked if I could be put on a payment plan, and they said no. I have to pay the full amount or I don't get the surgery.

My boyfriend and I managed to get together at least $1200 but that still leaves me short. Mind you, while I would be recovering from this surgery for 3-5 weeks, I won't be working and my disability will only cover 60% of my pay check. I still need to pay rent and bills. I've already listed and sold some of my collectables on Amazon, but it's not really selling fast enough.

Anything anyone could donate would help a lot. I would even be willing to draw some things for people if they donate. Here is some of my artwork.
I understand times are tough and money is tight so if you read this and can't donate, that is ok. But if you could pass it along that would also really help me out.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. =)
