Hello There,

So a little bit about what this amazing lady- Josie Godwin - has recently been through:

My mother was rushed into emergency surgery July 7th because of 4 massive blood clots in her left leg. She underwent 6 surgeries to remove those blood clots and the destroyed muscle and tissue that they caused. It then became clear to the Doctors that they would have to amputate a portion of her leg. The initial amputation was mid shin, because surgeons wanted to salvage as much as they could. The plan was to stay below the knee however once surgery was underway it was decided that it was necessary to go above the knee. My mom spent 33 days in the hospital - the last 8 days were in rehab where this wonder-woman progressed quicker than anyone could have imagined. This lady is extremely healthy and active which led to a speedy “recovery”. It is still a complete mystery to everyone as to what caused these blood clots.

She refuses to stop working and therefore does not qualify for medicaid based on income. She is continually denied for disability even though she is now missing a leg. We are trying to raise any money we can to help her live an “as close to normal” life as possible. We are simply raising funds for a prosthetic which is estimated to cost a total of over 20k. She is amazingly optimistic and embracing her new ways of living. Anything you are willing to give will be greatly appreciated! Please share this with friends, family, co-workers etc. Thank you in Advance!
