Meet Bethany

Bethany is a mother of 3 who lives in Cedar Park, Texas. She is a dedicated member of our community who is and has always been a staunch supporter of our children and our Schools. Bethany's medical struggles date back to October of 2022 when she first went to the doctor for back pain and numbness in her leg. After a series of cortisone shots, her back pain lessened but the numbness persisted. What followed was a series of MRI's and injections all designed to treat the loss of feeling in her leg. Nothing worked.

Things were touch and go until August 5th of this year. After volunteering at an event, Bethnay awoke with severe muscle spasms and a completely numb leg. Within a few days, she was unable to walk and after two weeks of debilitating pain, she finally checked into a local hospital. Unsure what to do, the ER claimed it was a bad sciatica, gave her morphine and sent her home hobbling on a cane.

Since then, she's been forced to find a new medical team who, thanks to a CT Myelogam, discovered the core issue. Bethany's L5 nerve was compressed flat by a herniated disc. Due to the severity of the diagnosis, Bethany underwent an emergency microdiscectomy at her L4/5 vertebrae to relieve the compression on her nerve on Thursday, August 30th of this year. The surgery was a success and as of this post, she's in the hospital recovering.

What We're Raising Money For

The bill for her series of procedures, medical visits, and surgeries are adding up to an astronomical amount. Insurance only covers so much. While Bethany is a fighter and is working hard to keep all her life responsibilities in order, she need our help to see her through this challenging season. All funds collected through this GoFundMe will go towards medical bills, house bills, and groceries. By helping support her financially, we're not only meeting a monetary need but alleviating the stress of recovery on both her and her family.

How You Can Help

As stated, all proceeds from this campaign will go directly to Bethany and her family via a Go Fund Me transfer into her account. If you're able to give, even a little, we'd greatly appreciate your generosity! And if you're not in a position to do so, no worries! A simple share on your social media platform of choice (Twitter X, FaceBook, etc) to spread the word means the world to us. And please use this space to send Bethany well wishes and encouragement.

Thanks in advance for your support!
