Our buddy SHANE had spinal surgery! Let's help!
Donation protected
Our best buddy Shane & his sweet family need our help!
5 weeks ago, Shane suffered a major back injury that has left him unable to walk sit or stand. Specifically, he has a large herniated disc in the lower lumbar L4/L5 of his spine that is pressing on the nerve causing excruciating pain. Additionally, part of the disc has broken off and has migrated down his spine causing more nerve pain.
Thankfully, after much self advocacy, Shane was able to see a neurosurgeon on Monday and has undergone spinal surgery this morning (I will update this page when I hear from him!). Hopefully this surgery will set him on the road to recovery, which will be at least a month of no lifting of any weight, including Lazlo, he and Annie's 3 year old.
Due to this injury Shane lost his job and has been unable to work. This gofundme is to help support him, Annie, and little Lazlo as they recover from this financial blow.
Please donate what you can and please share widely! Let us show Shane, Annie & Lazlo how loved they are and let them know that they have a community of people who are here to support them!
ALSO, if you have any leads on job prospects (preferably work from home), please message me directly & I will forward Shane the information!
