Hey my name is Machaela, I’m Stephanie Stokes daughter. As you may know, my mom is in debilitating pain that’s affecting her work and personal life. She’s had severe numbness and is occasionally loosing function in her arms, hands, and it’s moved into her legs. She is having surgery to have her C3 & C4 and C5 & C6 fused with plates and screws and donor bone being added in.

After her surgery she won’t be able to work for a minimum of 6 weeks due to recovery time. I know everyone has hard times going on right now but if anyone is able, I’m trying to raise a little bit of money for her to worry less about her bills during this recovery time. Any small amount would help her tremendously.
