Need funding for mom's knee replacement

Hi, my name is Charlie, and I'm here to try and raise funds towards a down-payment towards a knee replacement surgery for my mom, Emily. She's been dealing an incredible amount of pain for over a year or so as we have not been able to pay for treatment. But we've put it off for too long, and now her knees are bone-to-bone and we don't have a choice but to go forward. Through her trials she's been such a trooper, continuing to maintain the home and continue with her housekeeping job in spite of her pain. She's always been the kind of mom who put others first even when it inconvenienced her, and so I'd like to try and help her get over this ordeal. Thank you in advance for your generous donation.
