Help Jeannette Hecker Walk Again!!!

Donation protected
Jeannette is a high-school volleyball coach, registered nurse, and an amazing wife. She seriously injured her back in 2012 from lifting a heavy patient at Hoag Hospital. She has never been the same (even with surgery) and in 2017 the injury returned with a vengeance. Because this is a continued worker's comp injury the lawyers are delaying her treatment and surgery! She now has a 10mm plus herniated disc and has been bedridden since June 1st. Jeannette literally cannot walk. We have been to the ER three times in June due to blinding pain and associated respiratory problems and now Jeannette may NEVER walk without a cane, or may NEVER walk at all due to the nerve damage she is still experiencing. Rather than wait on worker's comp lawyers to approve her surgery we are taking a proactive step to save her ability to walk. Instead of enduring another series of surgeries in the United States we are flying Jeannette to Germany for a special disc replacement surgery with Dr. Ritter-Lang at the renowned Enande Institute. This surgery will be her LAST back surgery and finally give her the pain-free life she needs. Unfortunately the disc replacement is $36,544.11. With flight costs our bill is over 40 grand. If you can donate it will help Jeannette Hecker reduce this debt and help her get back to coaching and nursing. If you cannot donate this time, please SHARE this campaign to as many people that you can. Please share to all alumni and students of Newport Harbor HS, LMU, Mater Dei, AVP Volleyball, Sand Soul Volleyball, RSA and HRC, Hope Chapel, Crossing Church, Elks and Lions Clubs, and ARC. Thanks.
