Help Ro Recover from ACL Surgery

Donation protected
If you’ve been in my chair recently, you know that this last December I injured my left knee in a real bad fall. I could tell something was off, but was hopeful I’d fully recover with rest & physical therapy. Well, the MRI results rolled in mid January: “complete/full thickness tear” of the ACL.

Not the news one hopes for!

A series of appointments later, and I’m scheduled for an ACL allograft reconstruction surgery on March 13th.

I’m an independent contractor, which means I am not eligible for unemployment benefits. I am expected to miss at least six weeks of work. Not only will this be a financial blow, but a huge emotional one as well.

The funds I am hoping to raise will go toward my rent, bills & medical expenses for this time.

Getting this surgery ensures I’ll be able to do the things I love again at full capacity: standing behind the chair delivering affirming hair every day, pursuing theatre gigs again, taking dance classes, being active!

If you are able to donate, I would be so appreciative! If not, sharing this is just as helpful.

Here’s to staying positive & getting back on my feet!

With gratitude,
Ro
