Help James Vargo Overcome Spinal Surgery Tragedy

My good friend James Vargo recently went in for what should have been a routine spinal surgery 2 months ago that turned into a life-changing disaster. The surgeon improperly inserted a disk and permanently severed his spinal nerve. Four days after the first surgery, he was rushed back into the ER with another surgeon to try and save his back and legs. The 8-hour procedure caused tremendous trauma, and 5 days after that, he was back for a third procedure to address fluid buildup and infection. After almost a full month in the hospital, James was left with permanent drop foot and 75 percent nerve loss in his right leg. His left leg suffered 25 percent nerve loss. He is handicapped and had applied for disability, but it takes 9-12 months. He no longer has medical benefits and has over $250k in medical debt above and beyond what his insurance covered. He's had no income and is struggling to keep his bills paid until disability. He is also considering legal recourse but won't see any relief for 4-5 years. James is too proud to ask for help anymore, and that's why I am reaching out on his behalf. He's helped people his whole life, and now he needs our help. Please donate and reach out to James, and let's help get him through this unimaginable challenge in his life. He is unable to work and can only walk and sit for 25 minutes at a time before pain and weakness set in. He is on the verge of losing everything he's worked for his whole life as a result of this injury. Please help me help James.
