Help Aleah Heal from now 3 Surgeries and Support Her Son

My name is Aleah Duda. I genuinely hate having to reach out for help, but I am at risk of losing all I have worked hard for for my son and I. In January I began a scary journey, after having injections for pain for severe disc protrusion, I woke up one morning and couldn’t walk. I had never encountered nerve pain until this day. I had to miss a month & a half of work and have not recovered since financially or physically. I had an emergency surgery due to my disc rupturing on July 23rd. I was in the hospital for 6 days, and immediately had to try to return to work because of the financial distress I have been in. I ended up rupturing a disc again and ended up back in the hospital on Monday August 5th, and had a second surgery on Tuesday. I am desperately trying to maintain my mortgage and car payments so I can actually rest and heal to be able to return to work. If you know me, you know I have always been a hard worker and been the one to give my last dollar to anyone. I am not perfect by any means, but I am raising my son by myself and need any help I can to keep us afloat so I can get healthy to rebuild my life for my son and I. Please help in anyway you can, even a share or a prayer. I could use help

with meals or yard work or anything would be appreciated. This has been the hardest year I have encountered and I need any help available. Thank you in advance. Any and everything will go to past due car payments, Alliant bill, mortgage, and necessities.

Update as of August 29th- my disc has reherniated & re ruptured again. Having a 3rd surgery shortly today. I am in desperate need of help with bills & my son’s 5th birthday is tomorrow and I will not be able to make anything happen for it yet anymore, which is devastating. I am rescheduling his party so any donations may go towards a few necessities for him as well such as new clothing and shoes, he’s in size 5 and shoes 10c-11c. If you’d like to donate any gifts please reach out or I can send you an invite to his party once rescheduled, aiming for next Friday now instead of tomorrow.

I can use home cooked meals while healing and also in search of someone who can come clean my home and carpets hopefully this weekend so I can come home and not have to worry about doing things I am not supposed to be doing. Happy to pay what I can afford or donations towards for cleaning. Thanks for all the support. This is my last opportunity to heal correctly before I end up having to have a much more serious surgery called a fusion with steel rods & plates, which we really do not want to do on either end and will take a much higher recovery time, so I could use as much help as possible in any of these forms & prayers. Thank you so much.

Update! I am finally at 5 weeks post operation! I have not made it past 3 weeks without having another surgery since the surgeries began. I am grateful for all the prayers, love, and support I have received from people I never expected it from. Marek got to celebrate his birthday a couple weeks late, but it was absolutely amazing how many friends came to celebrate with us! I am super high risk, so I have to wait 8 weeks before returning to work, that puts us at the end of this month, October. I haven’t been able to work since July when I had my first back surgery. Any support is extremely appreciated from the bottom of my heart while I continue my healing journey and can get back to work. We all know I can’t wait ❤️
