help needed for family emergency

Donation protected
On Friday, May 23rd, my mom passed out at work, fell, and injured herself. She broke her neck, shattering 3 vertebrae. Her MRI images revealed the most intense, severe injury I've ever witnessed in real life. They were so intense, it honestly makes me nauseous to think about. The doctors aren't sure what caused her to pass out, and she's been in the hospital ever since. She also has at least 5 staples in the back of her head.

This past Thursday, she had extremely serious surgery to fuse 5 of her vertebrae together. The surgeon also had to reattach several ligaments. Seeing her post-surgery was beyond difficult. She's in the worst shape I've ever seen her in medically, along with uncontrollable pain. My mother is not okay on any level. On top of everything, she's also battling an antibiotic-resistant infection.

I'm trying to raise money for several reasons. One being to help out with bills in the immediate future, i.e., any hospital bills, medications, and medical supplies needed when she is discharged. I also want to help out with groceries and any household supplies my parents need. I'm trying to take away any financial stress or need to drain their savings over basics.

My mom isn't going to be able to lift anything, on any level, for 3 months as well, requiring full-time help 7 days a week. I'm going to basically be splitting my time between King of Prussia and Scranton to help as much as possible. My stepdad plans on continuing to work when he can, so I'm going to be there during those days to make sure she's cared for. This is also going to impact my work schedule and income.

I'm trying to focus on the reality and severity of the situation. My mom has never needed help more in her entire life, and I'm absolutely going to be there as a solid source of support.

I'm going to try and avoid bringing Ava up, just because my mom wants absolute silence, but it's bound to happen at some point. If anyone wants to reach out and volunteer to help me watch her, I'd greatly appreciate it. There are a handful of people I've already asked. I'm trying to split it up, so it's not too much on anyone.

I thank everyone for reading this and genuinely appreciate all the support. I'm trying to stay strong and act like everything is great, but this has been the most stressful thing I've ever dealt with, and it's a lot to mentally handle. I definitely need all the help and support I can get.
