This is not easy for me to write, but I’m reaching a point where I truly need help.

I have been living with chronic pain and worsening mobility due to severe spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and spondylosis. My condition has progressed to the point where I am now experiencing daily leg weakness, instability, and increasing difficulty standing or walking for extended periods.

I was also recently diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency, which requires ongoing care, daily medication, and careful monitoring. This adds another layer of complexity to my treatment, especially as I prepare for surgery.

At this stage, my condition requires multiple necessary surgeries. My doctors have recommended a specific order of treatment, including a bariatric revision procedure prior to spinal fusion, to improve surgical safety and recovery outcomes.

This is not a cosmetic process — it is part of a medically necessary plan to safely move forward with the spinal surgery I urgently need.

I am currently completing all required steps so I can proceed with these surgeries as soon as possible.

I have come so far and worked so hard to get to this point, and I’m so close to finally getting the help I need.

I’m raising funds to help cover deductible and out-of-pocket medical costs, imaging, specialist visits, medications, recovery support, and basic bills during the period before short-term disability begins.

Like many, I’ve tried to manage everything on my own, but the ongoing medical expenses have put me in a position where I’m now having to make difficult financial decisions, including filing for bankruptcy.

If you are able to give, share, or keep me in your prayers, I would be deeply grateful. If not, your encouragement and support truly mean just as much.
