My name is Dana. I just turned 20 and i live alone with my 3 dogs usually working in the mining industry.

On June 4th, I was in a cliff diving accident in which I shattered my T11, T12, and L1 vertebrae and wasn't going to be able to return to work until September. Since then, I have used most of my savings and resources to get by.

On August 27th, after a follow-up appointment with my neurosurgeon, it was found that a piece of bone had slipped and was compressing my spinal cord and would require more surgery.

Tuesday Sept 9th i have surgery for a 6 level fusion and a triple laminectomy, causing me to be out of work for another 3 months minimum, which i’m not so sure that i can financially afford. 

So, I am asking for help with money to afford my medical and monthly bills, so I can take things easy and heal correctly eventually returning to work and everyday activities.
