Support Jennifer's Wrist Surgery

Hello everyone! My name is Jennifer and this is my first fundraiser. Over the last couple of months I have been experiencing worsening pain, which started in my left wrist and thumb, and has now spread to include my entire hand, wrist, and forearm.

My thumb locks up and gets stuck in place when trying to do the simplest of tasks. I'm a baker, so I use my hands all day to earn a living. By the time my work day is over, I'm in so much pain that I sit and cry until bedtime. I have trouble getting myself ready in the morning, putting my clothes on and preparing myself food. I drop things a lot and can't help with chores anymore. Medications no longer help, nor does a brace. I've been to a hand specialist and I have De Quervain's Tenosynovitis. This will require surgery to correct. Surgery is Tuesday, February 4th and I'm expected to show up with cash in hand that morning. I have insurance, which is paying $165.75. I keep going to work everyday, overusing my wrist, which is causing more pain. I don't have any sort of PTO, sick time, or vacation time through my employer to cover my expenses while I'm off work for the 3-4 week recovery period. I dont have short term disability either. I don't qualify for financial assistance and I don't have any friends, family, or other resources to assist me with this expense. I need $4500 to make this happen. I'm in pain, and I need your generosity to have the procedure to make it stop. I'm asking for your help. Will you please help me? Thank you for your time.
