Recovery from Thyroidectomy Surgery & Support for My Family
Donation protected
Hello everyone, as most of you know already my name is Liz, I am currently battling graves disease and it has not been an easy road thus far. I'm facing a difficult time at the moment. I was diagnosed with this condition last year and we were in the process of treatment but I recently developed a severe allergic reaction to the medication. Unfortunately, I am now required to get a total thyroidectomy surgery. While I'm grateful for the opportunity to receive treatment knowing that it will benefit me in the long run I am also a bit scared, the road to recovery will be long and challenging - both physically and financially. As an assistant manager at Zaxby's, I'm not eligible for paid time off for my surgery, which means I'll be without income for 6-12 weeks during my recovery. My husband would love more than anything to be there for me and our children during this time, but unfortunately, he does not meet the criteria for paid Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) benefits. This means we'll be facing a significant loss of income during a time when we need it most. The financial burden of my surgery and recovery is extremely overwhelming. We're struggling to make ends meet, and the added expenses of medical bills, prescriptions, and living costs during my recovery are pushing us to the edge. That's why I'm turning to my community for help. I am not one to ask for assistance easily, but I know that with your support, we will be able to get through this tough time. Your donation will help us cover the costs of my surgery, recovery, and living expenses during this challenging period. Your contribution will go directly towards:
- All Medical bills and prescriptions, groceries and household expenses to care for my 4 children and helping us stay afloat during my 6-12 week recovery. Our goal is to raise at least $6,000 to help us cover the essential expenses during my recovery. Any amount you can contribute will bring us closer to achieving this goal and ensuring that our family can stay together and thrive during this difficult time. I'm so grateful for your consideration and support. Your donation is more than just a financial contribution to my family, it's a reminder that we're not alone in this journey. Your kindness and generosity will help us navigate this challenging time and come out stronger on the other side. Any and all Prayers, likes, shares and donations are most appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and considering supporting me and my family during this time. Your help means the world to us, and we're forever grateful for your love and kindness.
