Hi, my name is Sarah. I'm a graduate student trying to finish my master's degree, but I've had chronic pain for 5 months. According to multiple doctors, I would benefit greatly from a microdiscectomy - a spinal surgery that my insurance won't cover. It costs $40,000. I also need to move cross country close to my surgery so need to hire movers to help with this. My chronic pain in my back and leg has taken everything from my life, and I'm holding onto hope I can still complete my degree in freshwater ecology. I'm deeply passionate about nature and hope I can hike again in the woods someday. Please help me get the surgery to regain my life and happiness. Every dollar is appreciated ❤️
