Stand with Jonathan: Spinal Surgery Recovery

Hey, it’s Jonathan. In early October 2024 what was thought to be back pain from Sciatica was actually a lesion on my spine that caused fractures (vertebrae and rib) and spinal cord compression threatening my ability to use my legs. For the 1st Phase of Treatment, I had surgery to remove the growth and a Spinal Fusion in January 2025.

I am asking for donations to help with medical bills, transportation to appointments and everyday expenses. I have been unable to work since October 2024, am not sure when I will be able to return to work, and will not have any income. Donations will be used to cover medical expenses that insurance doesn’t cover, insurance premiums, appointment/prescription costs and unexpected expenses until I am able to return to work.

This news was unexpected and came as a great shock to me and my family. I will provide updates on my road to recovery. Thanks for the support, it is very much appreciated.
