My name is Megan, I go by my middle name Emma. If I have ever helped you in any way, or if you have anything to spare, please consider donating to help me survive through a full hip replacement and the recovery process.

I just spent 3 years recovering from a very hard time in my life, and it cost me quite a lot. I had savings to get me through the tough stuff, but it's gone now, and I didn't get the time to build it back up.

2 months ago, I finally got healthcare benefits and was able to get answers on the pain I've been going through for 6 years in my left hip. There are multiple cysts, bone degradation, and inflammation throughout that has quite literally been pushing my femur 1/2” out of place. We don't know what invaded my hip, but it's quite possibly a very bad thing and I have to have a full replacement.

I haven't been able to work regularly since January and it's been a creative process to pay my bills. There are no programs to help me and my long-term disability app won't even get looked at for 3 months. I have to end my lease and move back south for the winter. Stepping Stone will not extend it long enough for me to heal.

I can't pay anything this month, and quite possibly the next two either. Surgery is July 11th. My lease extends through August. I need support paying 4k in rent and financial support to move back south. If any close friends can spare time and energy to help me pack and clean this home literally in the middle of healing, that would be a big deal too. Once I'm south, my bills will be significantly less.

I have been working in the labor industry on this injury for years. I support not only myself, but a beautiful little family. We have food and other life expenses covered right now, I only need help with rent and moving. I do not have a lot of practice asking for help and this is really hard to do! Thank you in advance for any help.
