Help Michaela Ride Again
Donation protected
Michaela is an amazing, talented, and brave young woman who rides and takes care of horses for a living. She also has been battling back pain for almost 5 years after a fall off her horse.
On Thursday, February 4th 2021, Michaela was out of town for a horse show. While competing on her horse Cravito, she could no longer feel her leg and could not walk, and was rushed to the hospital. A MRI revealed that the herniated disc in her spine was now pinching a nerve to the point that her leg stopped working. The doctor said it was the biggest herniated disc he's ever seen. They decided to send her home for the operation instead of doing it there.
This type of operation is not usually performed on someone so young (even if she cannot walk), so finding a doctor who will do it might be difficult. Even with insurance, the emergency room visit and the operation will be expensive. Michaela will not be able to work or take care of her horse Cravito while she is recovering. We are asking our friends, family, and community to come together to support Michaela in this time of need. Even a dollar donation can help, and sharing to spread the word can make a huge difference.
Let's get Michaela healed and back in the saddle!
