Sister In Need Of Help

Donation protected
I would like to start by saying I am making this go fund me account to help my Twin sister Dawn. She would never ask for help and that is the reason I am going to reach out and do so. She has had degenerative back disease and osteopenia for many years now. Only recently (last two months) has it really taken its tole on her body. The bones in her spine are degenerating faster than they can regenerate and was told by doctors she will eventually need surgery and will possibly be wheel chair bound for the rest of her life. She has been handling the chronic pain for many years, but like I had mentioned before it has now gotten worse. It is now to the point where she couldn't walk, sit, or stand, and even lying down presented vastly painful challenges. She has gone to her regular doctor to try and manage the pain, but unfortunately not much help due to type of insurance she has. My sister is a strong women and I rarely ever see her cry due to pain. She has called me several times bawling due to being in so much pain that she had to find someone to take her to the emergency room. Since I live in a different state I wasn't able to help her besides to be an ear to listen. She has had to be taken to the ER twice due to being in such severe pain, basically paralyzing her from her waste down. The doctors in the ER ran many test including an MRI and confirmed what we already new that she had osteopenia and degenerative bone disk disease, but then they continued to tell her they found she also has arthritis, and her discs L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1 has disc herniations and facet arthropathy resulting in central canal stenosis. They ordered her to stay home from work, since mobility exacerbates the pain to unbearable levels. In the meantime her doctors have sent out referrals so she can be seen by a specialist. Due to the specific medical condition she has, getting in to see the specific specialist can take possibly a year, maybe even longer she was told. My sister works really hard at two jobs to try and make ends meet. Since she has been ordered to stay home I would like to see if we can raise funds to help support her already accumulated medical bills and ones to come, along with some household bills, pain medications, and some food. She is always willing to help or give a hand to someone in need. Weather it be a family member, friend or stranger. I feel this is the least I can do to help her get through this period of time of need. Anything that you can donate would be a great help and greatly appreciated. I know this would mean the world to my sister and I. I want Thank each and everyone in advance for any assistance you can provide.
