Help Us Survive An Urgent Spinal Surgery

Hello everyone! My mom and I are in a bit of a crisis situation, and we are not going to have any income this month because of medical emergencies. She is going through an urgent spinal surgery, laminectomy and fusion from C3 to T2 that will save her life on the 17th of December, and we have had little time or ability to prepare. I had been informed by my prior manager that I could access paid family medical leave, and I have just found out that I will have zero income to support us. I'm currently fighting for Oregon Paid Leave, but with the surgery coming so soon, I fear it will not support us in time. She is going to be recovering for 5 days in hospital, and 4-5 weeks at home where she will need someone at home to care for her. She and I already barely scrape by, with me being a college student working minimum wage, and her being disabled and unemployed, although she tries to make ends meet with her art and antique restoration skills.

Anything helps! These funds will go to our normal expenses, such as groceries and OTC, uncovered medical costs. Thank you for taking the time to read about our situation, and to anyone who can afford to help ❤️
