Help the Castro, Lawson family

Donation protected
Hi my name is Kristen, I started this go fund me for my sister (Kayla), brother in law (Jake), niece and nephew. Kayla and Jake are some of the hardest working people I know with the heaviest load on her shoulders. They both would give the shirt off their back to help anyone.
This past March, Jake lost all feeling and range of motion in his right arm. He started having difficulty completing daily living tasks such as brushing his teeth, buttoning his shirt, and even showering. Jake had multiple testing done over the course of a few months. He was then recommended to see a neurosurgeon asap. The first time he was seen by neurosurgery it was advised that they schedule surgery immediately. He had pinched nerves, compressed nerves, and narrowing of the spine. They decided to do a laminoplasty mid July, during surgery he had an incidental dura tear (which can happen). Since the incidental durotomy Jake is at even higher risk to watch for falls, car accidents etc for the rest of his life to avoid any life threatening injuries. He has been out of work since March, and as of now he does not have a return back to work date (possibly after Christmas). Jake has not been cleared to work with physical therapy yet either. Kayla is working 5 days a week trying to make ends meet. At this time all the bills are pilling up and she is picking and choosing what bills to pay after going grocery shopping for a family of 4. Unfortunately they do not qualify for food stamps or any other type of assistance at this time. Please consider donating and helping them out during this tough time. Any donation is greatly appreciated. If you cannot donate, please keep them in your prayers.
