Standing with Joy: A Single Mom’s Recovery

Donation protected
Hi my name is Joy, and I'm a single mom of 5. At 41 years old I was told that I needed both my hips replaced due to arthritis taking over my body. I got my left hip replaced today April 16, 2026, with the right hip to follow in the next 6 weeks. Im asking for help being that I do not qualify for FMLA from my employer, or short term disability. Thank you !!
