Dear community,

I am reaching out to you with a difficult request. As some of you may know, I have been struggling with various spine conditions that have severely impacted my ability to live and earn a living. My spine issues have been ongoing for years, but they have become severely debilitating for the past few months.

I have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, herniated disk, and sacralization of my vertebrae and pelvis. All of which cause constant pain, numbness, and swelling in my back, legs, and abdomen. I have multiple nerves damaged, and my mobility has become very limited - I can no longer do simple things like walking my dog or standing on my own for more than a few minutes without pain.

Because of the symptoms associated with my condition and not being able to remain on my feet without a walking aid, I've been forced to call off my primary job that had been keeping me afloat. I’m also unable to run my small business at full capacity, causing more financial strain, and I am now unable to cover the costs of daily life.

I am scheduled to receive a series of Epidural Spinal Injections, which I hope will alleviate my immediate pain while I continue undergoing physical therapy and working towards a permanent fix.

I am humbly asking for your support in raising funds for my treatments, medications, and day to day expenses. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for all the kind words, support, and accommodations that my friends, family, and community have already provided for me. I am so grateful for your love and support.

Sincerely,

Kait Roots
