My name is Carl Edwards. With great reluctance, I must reach out for support as

unforeseen circumstances

have extended my leave of

absence from work and pushed me

towards financial instability.

After meeting with my doctor, I learned that the 2020 neck surgery did not go as planned. Two vertebrate screws are loose and may require additional surgery. However, due to limited short-term disability coverage, we decided to prioritize my lower back surgery, which has healed well but requires further operation on the adjacent vertebrae. The smallest contribution can provide much-needed relief.
