Larry’s back surgery

Donation protected
Another update: So I had emergency surgery yesterday in the ER yesterday and he had surgery 6 days ago, they cancelled our medical insurance the day before his surgery, please help us.

Update: so he had pre-op on Friday and it turns out they r actually doing a double laminectomy and a discectomy on Tuesday. We were able to make a down payment of $500 but r still getting billed for the rest just to get the surgery done so he can get some relief and return to work hopefully . Please help us out with anything if u can. Oh and his work just informed us Friday they r cancelling our medical insurance the day before his surgery because he reached his 12 weeks of FMLA coverage, hopefully we don’t get a $150,000 bill. Thank you. 

My husband Larry is having Spinal Decompression Surgery in 20 days because he has Spinal Stenosis and herniated discs in his entire lumbar spine. They just notified us that we have to pay a lot of out of pocket expense before the surgery. He already hasn’t been able to work since October 14, 2020. He isn’t taking home much on disability and we have to pay full out of pocket for insurance now, which we need. We are already behind as it is and don’t have the money to put down for his back surgery so he can try to go back to work. The money raised will go strictly to his surgery costs, I’m not asking for anything else. I’m sure we can manage somehow financially. Anything will help no matter how small of a donation. We have 4 kids and right now I’m the only one working full time and taking care of the family. On top of dealing with my heart issues, but that’s another story. Thank you and God Bless.
