Road to Recovery

I've found myself in a situation where I need my family and friends. I didn't want to have to ask for help, but I'm not sure how I'll make it without you. I'm unable to work, and the medical bills that will be compounding over the next several months.

On the afternoon of 3-22-24 I had a motorcycle accident , and my whole life took a turn that I wasn't ready for, quite literally.

I'm currently in Ruby Memorial Hospital, in traction, awaiting my second surgery on Monday. I suffered a hip dislocation with some fragmentation. Monday I am having a major surgery to place a plate and screws in the acetabulum area to prevent my hip from future dislocation. Recovery is up to 12 months. I'm unable to work. I'm unable to return to college on Monday to finish pursing my dream of becoming law enforcement officer and making a difference in our communities. (The loan payment doesn't stop, because I can no longer attend. Neither do my bills.)

Today is a hard day...the next several months are going to be hard too. I'm not a quitter. I don't want to give up. I've always heard it takes a whole village to raise a child, and I understand what that means now. (Although I'm not a child anymore. I am my mother's child, and watching her worry is breaking my heart.) I don't want to put all of the financial burden of my ever growing medical bills on my Mom (a single mom...and possibly a saint.)

She'd take it. She's a warrior...but, I just want to try to help her help me, while I'm in a situation where I can't honestly help myself. It could happen to anyone...I pray it doesn't.

I promise every dime donated will be put towards paying my bills, and medical bills. If there's enough left over, I'm definitely buying my mom some flowers.
