Please Help Mom from Amputation Recovery and Rehabilitation
Donation protected
Hello,
I'm reaching out to you today to ask for your support for my mom, Josefina.
She has always been a source of strength, love, and laughter for our family, but now she needs our help more than ever.
Recently, Josefina contracted a severe infection that led to a week of excruciating pain. Unfortunately, the infection caused severe tissue damage and a bone infection, resulting in the amputation of her second toe and metatarsal. This is a devastating blow, especially considering her ongoing battle with severe Rheumatoid arthritis, which has already deformed her left foot and hands.
Adding to this difficult situation, since this happened while she was visiting us in New Jersey, her insurance will not cover any of the medical expenses due to not having out-of-state benefits.
This has put an immense financial strain on our family.
With her right foot being her "good foot," this amputation will make walking and daily activities incredibly challenging for her. We are hoping to raise funds to cover her medical expenses, rehabilitation, and any necessary modifications to our home to accommodate her new needs.
Josefina has always been a fighter, but this situation has taken a toll on her physically and emotionally. Your generous support will not only help with her immediate medical expenses but also aid in her long-term recovery and adaptation to this new reality.
As mom is currently admitted in the hospital awaiting the results of what type of infection and type of IV antibiotics needed, I will relay any words of encouragement.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in Josefina's life. Please share this campaign with your network to help us reach our goal.
With heartfelt gratitude and thanks,
Josie
