<div>Hi everyone, I arrived in London 8 years ago, I liked London immediately and I thought that besides being beautiful it could offer many job opportunities. For me things went a little differently... I was fired during the pandemic, so I had to do a "mobile" job. The aspect I like most about this job is that I was able to visit a large part of this city, but the negative aspects are various: the first is that it does not offer a stable salary, often it was not adjusted to the cost of living in London to cover expenses (rent, transport etc.) the second is that I waste a lot of time on public transport (time in which no income is generated) the third is that it forces me to adopt bad postures that inevitably weigh on my physical condition in addition to walking, running, climbing stairs etc. All things that for a normal person are normal routine, for me they become daily actions that cause me physical pain in my legs .Let me explain, I have bilateral coxarthrosis, it is osteoarthritis (or wear and tear) that affects both hip joints, causing pain, stiffness, limited movement and limping. The solution is the implantation of 2 hip prostheses, so the operation is a course of physiotherapy. Perhaps the knee is also involved and it will be necessary to see if it will be operated on at the same time or at a later time.  The doctor who examined me suggested surgery within a week. The cartilage in my hips has now worn down to the point that the bones rub against each other, inevitably causing pain. This is a solution, but it would mean I'd have to undergo an invasive operation (I challenge anyone to remain calm with the thought that they'll have bones sawed off in the operating room).  The other problem , which I would like to solve with your help , is that during the approximately four months it will take for the operation , hospital stay ,physiotherapy etcc .    I will have to take time off work but I will have to face some not insignificant expenses, especially the rent payments, multiplied by 4 which have a significant impact on my finances to the point that I will have to postpone the operation to who knows what future date. I therefore ask you for a little help through Gofundme, you can donate any amount even 1 pound , Every drop can make a sea. Thank you to everyone .
