Mills Family Recovery

When it rains it pours. 

Hello I’m LeeAnn Biggs-Mills 
I never thought I’d have to do anything like this but I don’t know what else to do. I feel like a burden to my family.

Everything changed for me October 1st of last year and I have literally been in and out of the hospital, since then. I had gotten a job at Target to help support my family and to pay off student loan debt, while on the job I injured my right knee climbing a ladder at work.

Then while recovering I pushed myself to hard end ended up injuring my already bad back while compensating for my injured knee. I started having horrible pain down my opposite leg. The pain has been constant, varying in degrees from my lower back all the way down to me toes. In January I had to have emergency surgery since I had developed foot drop, I lost all feeling from my toes to right below my knee. I found out as well as having a bulged disc pressing on my sciatic nerve I also had developed a spinal cyst. After surgery I had to teach myself how to use that foot again making nerve connections so I could wiggle my toes again. I continued going to physical therapy until Covid hit.

Months later the constant pain I’ve been dealing with worsened and I ended up again in and out of the hospital till my second surgery at the end of August where they fused my spine which leads to now. I’m still in constant pain everyday, I’ve lost a years pay, swimming in medical debt, student loans and everything else that’s been piling up. I’m still recovering and trying to figure out what jobs I can work remotely since I can’t sit, stand or walk very long without aggravating my nerve even further, I’m so tired of the constant pain.

It doesn’t end there either, we have had a horrible run of bad luck vehicles breaking, our air conditioner flooding it’s pan and dripping into our ceiling and so on. We just can’t get our heads above water and my husband has been working like crazy, it’s gotten to the point where we have started selling off possessions to try to make our monthly bills and it’s just not working, it’s straining everything we got. 

This GoFundMe is set up to help with medical bills, offset student loan debt load, household bills and future rehab (unfortunately I still have a long road to recovery).

Any support would be greatly appreciated (whether financial, positivity or prayers) even if you can only share the link to my story, anything would help. With all the gratefulness  in the world and from the bottom of my heart, Thank You for reading and bless you.
