"Support Christopher's Battle Against Spinal Nerve Damage"

Hello, my name is Christopher Mota, and I started this fundraiser to not only pay off my medical bills and get healthy; but to also pay for my future procedures. For the past 14 years, I have dedicated my life to helping the homeless population with housing and jobs so they can transition back to self-sufficiency. I eventually left the homeless for better career opportunities. I moved to Amazon for a career in warehouse statistics. Throughout the years, I've suffered from arthritis in both my feet, damage to my right knee, and nerve damage to my spine and thighs. I've been out of work for the past 2 years and the pain is getting worse. Every morning, I have difficulty getting out of bed due to the sharp pain in my lower back I feel upon waking. Every step feels like needles stabbing each thigh. I can only sit in a chair for 5 minutes due to the pain rushing down both buttocks. Every day I need to lie down every so often due to the pain being unbearable. I fell into depression and gained weight due to the pain. My wife pulls overtime at her job to keep up with the bills. It hurts me to see my wife in tears when discussing our bills and not knowing if the pain will go away. My check from Long-term disability can barely pay for the medical bills. My wife and I have decided to put our dream of having our own home on hold so we may focus on my treatments and health. I would use the funds to get current with my medical bills, medications, and future procedures. Since this all started my wife has been supportive and by my side.
