Help Kris and Sara after back injury
Donation protected
Hi everyone, mid-January Kris injured his back at work. His CT scan and an MRI confirms he has a herniated disc in his lower back that is pushing on the nerve that runs through his left hip and leg (sciatic nerve). This causes a lot of pain for him and makes it hard to walk, get out of bed, even sitting for too long hurts. He started using a cane and after his second ER visit they told him to use a walker instead. It has been four weeks since the initial injury and he has been to the ER twice. We just got approved today (02/13) for him to start physical therapy, but it will not start until next week. We have both been out of work for at least 2 out of 4 weeks due to his injury, which means bills are starting to pile up.
We thought we could handle this ourselves, that is why only immediate family knows about the injury, but we are figuring out we are way in over our heads.
After moving in November we have exhausted all of our resources. Things keep happening, Kris is not getting or feeling better, we don’t know what to do because every 12 hours is different for him no matter what we try to do. Worker’s comp has not been very helpful the past few weeks, and we are out of money. If you know us, you’ll know we tend to try and stay in good spirits and stay silly during times of struggle, but man, it’s been really hard to do that lately.
Please if you are able to, donate or share this link. If you have any questions, please let me know.
