Crystal's Journey to Walk Again
Donation protected
Hello everyone! Thank you for taking the time to visit our fund site and hope you are well. First off, let us take the time to praise the Lord for His enduring love and grace in times of trial!
Many of you know our family, but let us share with you our story, particularly that of Crystal. Crystal has been dealing with a great deal of pain for the past 6+ years with the last 2 years it becoming debilitating restricting her to either a walking cane or wheelchair. After a dozen specialists and as many diagnoses, we believe we have truly found the cause and a solution to the problem.
Crystal currently has scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of her spine. Through MRI(s) doctors have found a disc rupture and a bulging herniation in the L5 region which is causing stenosis, a narrowing of the spine canal. Due to this narrowing, she is experiencing neurological problems, including constant pain, numbness and paresthesia in her left foot. Furthermore, Crystal also deals with sciatica, contributing to increased pain generating from her lower back, down the hip and across her left leg.
Through prayer and faith in God's promises we are reaching out for help. In lieu of all this pain, Crystal continues being a loving wife, compassionate mother, dedicated teacher, caring friend, and more importantly a faithful and obedient servant.
We have found a minimally invasive surgery being offered at the Laser Spine Institute in Pennsylvania. This surgery will repair the disc rupture, bulging herniation, and the stenosis. This is a same-day procedure which will give Crystal a second chance at a normal, mobile life. However, this surgery is out-of-network and as we have come to find, all our options lie within surgeons outside our network, particularly the minimally invasive ones.
We are asking for help in raising $27,500 to cover the costs of this procedure. This surgery will help Crystal walk on her own again and alleviate so much of the pain that she has been plaguing her for more than 6 years. We are truly grateful for any help you can provide to reach our goal, even if it's just sharing this link on your social media pages. Please continue to keep us in prayer for healing. It is a true blessing to be a part of such a great and loving community. However, we also pray that not our will, but our Lord's will be done.
Stay Blessed and Thank You...
