Nate's Back Surgery

Hi everyone,

As you all know I’m Nate’s wife Stephanie. The past 3.5 years Nate has been dealing with a back issue that everyone just kept brushing off as sciatic pain, with endless doctors appointments and physical therapy over these almost 4yrs. He would get relief for a couple weeks here and there but whenever the pain did come back (which it always did) it would be 100x’s worst. Finally about a month ago he went to the emergency room because he could barely walk and we found a doctor who looked past the sciatic diagnoses and gave him the MRI he so desperately needed and found out he has 3 herniated discs. One is so bad that it’s almost completely blocking off his spinal canal. They tried to fix it with an epidural injection but unfortunately there was only a 10% change in his condition. So after being referred with an appointment to a neurosurgeon. Today October 6th we met with him and found out Nate 100000% will need surgery to shave off the bone that is compressing all his nerves and spinal canal. The doctor actually said he’s never fixed this many in one person alone. With this surgery comes a pretty hefty co-pay and the day before out appointment with this neurosurgeon our bank account had fraud and we lost $700 that the bank said we will not be getting back. We are going to corporate to try and fix that but who knows when we will see if we will see that money again. That was our savings for a rainy day or for this surgery if he was going to need it. So now we have 4 kids our savings have been drained and my husband needs a surgery to have a better quality of life. We are not the kind of people to ask for any help, but with Nate out of work and I only work part time we are trying to stay above water but right now we’re stuck between a rock and hard place. We are asking for any help even if it’s just a prayer for our family or sharing this go fund me to help us get the word out so we could atleast cover the co-pay for his surgery. We know GOD has a plan and we have faith he will provide for us.
