As a dear friend to Nicole, I have decided to try and help her family during this difficult time, and I truly appreciate you taking a moment to read her story.
Over these past eight months, Nicole has been having major health issues, including three large surgeries and many missed weeks of work.
As a 35-year-old mother, to two young children, not being able to properly care for her family has been hard.
Last May, she unfortunately got rear-ended in her personal vehicle. After being in severe pain for almost a year, she had no choice but to drive to Utah and see a back specialist.
The outcome was that she needed to have a major back surgery, which would leave her out of work for about four weeks.
As she returned home, she received further test results that mentioned needing a second procedure, that was unexpected. Currently, her four weeks out of work have turned into eight weeks. Eight weeks of no bending, no twisting, no lifting… She has tried to cover all bases, including applying for short-term disability but fell into the loophole and got denied.
Her husband has been working as much overtime as possible, including working out of town to try and make enough income to make ends meet but that still isn’t enough.
As much as I am struggling to make this, I know how much her family is in need.
She is out of options. With her being out of work for two months, she has no personal income coming in, medical bills adding up, car payments coming up, rent overdue and groceries getting low. They have worked so hard not to be in this situation but unfortunately here we are.
Any money that is donated to help her and her family, during this difficult time, will be used to help pay bills, buy groceries and pay rent so that they can keep a roof over their heads.
Any amount that you are willing to contribute is greatly appreciated and if you aren’t able to contribute money at this time, a share with family and friends would mean the world to us all.
Again, thank you for taking the time to read her story.
