Sidney's Tumor Battle: Your Help Needed

Donation protected
Update: Thank you so much everyone! We now have enough to cover the chair lift. We're having the people come over for the final in person quote and the installation. They've promised they'll have it handled by the time I'm back from the hospital. We have the surgery scheduled for December 7th. There will be a week or two of inpatient recovery then I should be home. After that, a few more weeks and then I should be back to work. We've bumped the goal up slightly with the hopes of getting started on putting some money aside to make the bathroom friendly for me to shower in and use in general. Once again, thank you! We did not expect this to happen so fast. Seriously, you are all the the best.

Hi, my name is Sidney and I was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. It looks like an ependymoma that is pressing up against my brain stem. Thankfully, it doesn't appear to be malignant, but I can no longer walk, which has largely trapped me on the upper floor of my home. My goal is to help with the hospital bills that I will be facing after surgery and recovery and to be able to put in a stair lift to the main floor of my home.

From what I'm seeing, stair lifts start around 3500 dollars plus tax and installation. This will at least start to get us on the way. We're expecting to have to take out a loan if the total goes above what we bring in through here, but we need a lift.

It looks like I will be recovering for at least a few weeks post-surgery before returning to work, which will put a strain on my finances. On top of everything else, I'll be at a hospital in a different city for the procedure and initial recovery time.
