Donations needed for surgery & expenses .

Hi, this is very difficult for me but, I’m asking for a little help. I’m scheduled for back surgery August 1st. (I was supposed to have the surgery May 23rd but got Covid and it was postponed til August) UPDATE: Surgery now July 11th ! The surgery is not optional. The pain is 7/24 and severe at times. I have a L4 L5 paracentral disc bulge and herniation that is hitting my spinal cord. I also have resulting severe stenosis that as the surgeon states is “smashing the nerves” going down my left leg. I have significant pain / tingling/ pins & needles in my left hip, butt, thigh, and severe in the calf, ankle and foot as well as the lower back pressure and pain. Now there is decreased sensation in my left foot under the last three toes and my leg buckles when I stand. I have no sick time at work due to recently having Covid, Covid exposure the past 2.5 years (I work in a Nursing Facility), “normal” illnesses, family as well as due to related medical appts, and daily physical therapy and chiropractic services in an attempt to avoid surgery. I also have an inversion table, massage ball and tried traction. I’m requesting help due to the resulting unpaid leave from work for the surgery. I will be off work a minimum 3 months with max at full recovery approximately 6 months with no pay. I’m also responsible to pay full medical insurance while out of work due to being in unpaid status. I’ve depleted my savings over the last 10 months covering costs. I am asking for donations to help with ongoing medical bills, insurance coverage I have to pay while out of work with no pay, daily / monthly living expenses and with the inflation - food, utilities, gas prices etc… it’s getting tough . Every little bit will help and will be greatly appreciated. Thank you to those who have already donated and those who will…. God bless.
