Emergency Surgery and Expense fund for Tanya

You ALL know me and I would NEVER ask anyone for help unless I truly needed it, and it’s embarrassing and hurts my soul to even do this, but I truly could use some help right now. Jerry has already helped me out so much and I sold so much stuff and got all caught up and even got ahead ahead financially, until this all happened. Since it’s January all my insurance deductibles have to be met again and just in the last 4 days with all the ER visits, CT, MRI, and dr appts he has already paid OVER $1k+ and on Monday at my pre-op visit he paid $760 JUST for the 2 surgeons and then ANOTHER $1,784 for the OR fees and that STILL doesn’t include the anesthesiologist fees OR rehab. So that’s over $3500 just in the last 7 days. Because of my back surgeries, and prosthetic leg issues I had to cut my hours down to 32 hours a week and I am out of PTO for work soon. I am using an old prosthetic leg because my new one caused massive blisters and then broke after the 1st week and now it’s my main leg and is already hurting, at some point I still need the $1k+ to get my 3 root canals finished (one tooth is still just an open hole where they drilled into my jaw and packed it), AND have the other hip joint fusion done, but as of now, ALL that’s on hold. No way I will be able to afford all that and afford to miss work for it for a LONG time after this knee mess. As always, I will be going back to work as soon as my dr says I can (luckily I can do my job in a wheelchair since I may be stuck in it for months) but by then I will be so far behind on medical bills and regular bills I won’t ever be able to catch up, then add in all the money I use to help Mom with all of her stuff that her social security and Medicare doesn’t cover AND she is still in the hospital after being admitted Sunday via ambulance into the hospital for her back and had to have surgery to have 2 fractured vertebrae cemented. I have just run out of options and don’t have the time to try to figure out what else I can sell fast enough. So I am asking for help, even $3 would be helpful at this point. If you have it to spare, I appreciate it immensely, and even if ya don’t, then just keep the prayers and positive energy going for me and my mom! Much Love and Thanks to you all! Here is the update from the MRI results and everything that is requiring 2 surgeons to fix:
1-Lateral Meniscus is torn completely in half.
2-Severely torn PCL.
3- Complete loss of cartilage w/ exposed bone between femur and tibia.
4- Cartilage damage inside of knee and underside of kneecap.
5- Tissue damage outside of kneecap.
6- Joint effusion leaking mass amounts of synovial fluid. 
Because of my prosthetic leg and back issues, crutches are not an option and I will be in a wheelchair for possibly several months. At least the good news is that since I will be in a wheelchair I can return to work sooner! Huge Thanks to anyone that is able to help out!
