It is hard for me to ask for help but I don’t have an alternative at this point. As many of you know, I have been out of work since September 2024 and while I was seeking gainful employment, I have been unable to pursue that goal for the past several months due to ongoing medical issues.

Specifically, I am scheduled to have surgery on November 20th to address severe spinal stenosis in my neck. The recovery and rehab timeline I have been given is 4-6 months for this procedure. At that point, I will be reevaluated and if the neck is doing well, I will have a fusion done to correct issues in my lower back. After all of the spine related treatments, it has become necessary to have cataract surgery on my eyes sooner rather than later due to a decline in my night vision. Total time medically out of work will likely be 12+ months. On top of all this fun and excitement, I have also been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) which makes many of the tasks I am still able to physically do, quite difficult. So, it’s been difficult to say the least.

While insurance will cover medical bills and I have applied for both in home care and disability benefits, it still leaves me unable to pay my bills each month. Rent, utilities, car payments, internet, insurance, groceries, child support, and all other expenses are what this Go Fund Me is intended to cover. This is an incredibly hard and vulnerable position I find myself in but I have to ask if you will please help me!

Thank you all for your love, friendship, care, and support during this difficult time.
