Hello, my name is Frank Holt. I am 63 years old, and I have currently fallen on some tough  times. I have worked construction for most of my adult life, and my body has started to fail me. I had been  working with my doctor towards a hip replacement, when on January 14th, I lost feeling in all of my extremities and fell. After roughly an hour on the ground, I was able to get myself to the hospital. Once admitted, I was diagnosed with cervical spinal stenosis, and tested positive for COVID-19 as well.

Before my fall, I had been scheduled for my hip replacement surgery in early March. Now, due to the spinal stenosis diagnosis, I am scheduled for neck surgery in roughly ten days, which has delayed my hip replacement.  Unfortunately, my hip surgery date is now based on my recovery from the neck surgery.

This has left me in quite the financial bind. I have always worked, and I fear that my living situation will be compromised, as I have began to fall behind on rent and bills. I plan on returning to work as soon as my surgeries and rehabilitation is complete. I am hoping, with your help, that I can maintain basic food and shelter. Thank you in advance...

Frank
