Hi Everyone,

My name is Thomas Yates and I am a massage therapist and massage therapy teacher. Back in November 2021 I hurt myself at the gym resulting in a herniated disc in my lower back. On top of pain and an inability to work I do not have health insurance and I am going through my savings much faster than I ever thought possible. I am looking for some help with medical and living expenses. The next step in my treatment is to get an epidural steroid injection and that alone is $1200 as a self pay patient. I am so grateful for any and all help during this time.
