HI! I'm a 42 year old paralegal who, after years of working 2 physically draining and demanding jobs has terrible damage to my body. I want to keep working, I'm too young to slow down. I have had MRI's and Xrays that found 2 large tears in my hip and issues in my spine. During this time my wisdom teeth have decided to chime in as well. I had no insurance for a while so I'm catching up on care. Thanks to the orange clown though now my insurance isn't covering everything it used to. I need work on my teeth asap and my spine. I have 3 messed up disks and one is slipped, pinching nerves that go into each leg. My legs now go completely numb after just a 10-15 minute walk. This is so frustrating because I have always been a walker and love to be active. It has greatly affected my mental health not being able to take care of basic things, go to work, have a life of any kind. I'm basically stuck on my chair most of the time doing work with my

hands (I knit and crochet so it's helping keep my mind off a bit). I hate to ask for help but I'm starting to see that if I don't get any kind of help, however small, my situation is only going to worsen. I only have the numbers for my teeth so far and that's $2k for 2 extractions and one implant. Not to mention the medication I'll be on, living expenses, bills etc. Anything you can send will be a great help! Once I get this done I can heal and move on to the more serious surgery. They found a lump in my spine. I need to go back for a biopsy if possible, they are still exploring.

Please help keep this artist from being completely disabled if things get worse! I want to work! Thank you!
