My name is Rochelle Bullard, and I’m reaching out during one of the most difficult times of my life. I have a cyst on my spine that is pressing on my nerves, causing immense daily pain and putting me at risk of paralysis if I don’t get surgery soon.

Unfortunately, I recently lost my Medicaid coverage, and without insurance, the cost of this urgent surgery and related medical expenses is overwhelming. Every day the pain gets worse, and I’m scared of what could happen if treatment is delayed any longer.

I’m asking for help from friends, family, and kind strangers to raise the funds needed for this surgery. Your support — no matter the amount — would bring me one step closer to relief from this pain and, most importantly, give me a chance to prevent permanent paralysis.

Thank you so much for reading my story and for any support you’re able to give. Sharing this campaign with others means the world to me.
