Help Halina Walk Without Pain

My name is Halina Kalinowski and this is my story. When I was a young child I had severe pain in both of my feet. After visiting a few doctors, we found out I had an enlarged bone in both of my feet, but my right foot was worse. Instead of having surgery to correct this enlarged bone that was pressing against my tendons, the doctor put my foot in a cast. Years later, both of my feet started to have a new pain in a different area as well as increased pain on the inside of my foot, my Achilles’ tendon, and the top of my foot. I would think it might be my shoes, or what I did that day for me to be in such pain by the time I go to bed, but come to find out, it was a more serious issue. I did not have the means to afford health insurance until working my first full-time job this past year. My health insurance officially commenced in 2020. When I was referred to a podiatrist by my primary care doctor is when things took a turn for the worst. I found out that due to this enlarged bone in both of my feet, I have arthritis and built up Calais on the top of my feet. This causes sever pain due to it rubbing against my tendons on the top of my foot. The enlarged bone on the side of my foot has been rubbing, straining, and stretching my tendons on the side of my foot which causes me to walk incorrectly which in turn caused issues in my Achilles tendon as well as issues in the T-band on both of my hips. Long story short, I have extreme pain when walking or being active. Unfortunately the only solution to cure this pain is to have surgery in both of my feet. The surgery would consist of shaving down the Calais on the top of both feet, shaving down the enlarged bone in both feet and reconstructing my tendons on the top and side of my foot. My goal is $10,000 which would cover the surgery, crutches, and recovery costs. Please help me reach this goal!! Any contribution would mean the world to me. Thank you so much in advance. My mom always told me to do kind for another and help in any way you can and receive the same down the road.
