Hello family and friends I am reaching out for help, not for my self but for my cousin Alma. Life sometimes throws things our way that we don't understand and this is one of those things. On August 18th Alma was asked to take an MRI. Because she was having severe sciatic pain. This had been going on for some months. But due to COVID the Drs were not seeing patients for sciatica. On the 19th an MRI was done while in excruciating pain the doctor called asking to speak to her son. The Doctor informed her son that he was to take Alma to the UCI ER immediately. In the ER they informed Alma and her son she had a mass around her lower back, it was infact myeloma and her disk had collapsed. She needed emergency surgery but the repercussion of the procedure is that she may never walk again. On the 24th she went in for a 5 hour surgery to remove the cancer and put in metal rods and screws for the collapsed disc. She is in dyer need of financial assistance from family and friends. Her only source of income was disability due to her sciatica. But it was discontinued before she was diagnosed with myeloma. She is currently in recovery, she now has to remodel her home in order to accommodate her and current disability. Her medical expences are piling up as insurance won't be covering her medical expenses. This is on top of the usual bills and rent which are now 3 months behind also due to COVID. But because of her current condition she has no source of income, so if you can please help or share this link it will greatly be appreciated. Thank you.
