Back pain is no joke! I injured my back on the job 5 years and was forced to retire 3 years later at 58 years old. Now, I'm on disability and my income is fixed. This has been a huge adjustment, both physically and financially, and it's been tough to keep up with the unexpected costs that come with my situation.


Now, I'm facing back surgery to fuse L3-L5 and reduce stenosis because of terrible nerve pain. I have degenerative Disks, Herniated Disk, and plenty of Bone Spurs. A long and careful recovery is ahead. While I'm grateful for the care I'll receive, I have significant out-of-pocket and deductible expenses that I simply can't cover on my own. My disability income is limited, and like many seniors these days, these extra medical costs are overwhelming.


I wish I had the ability to raise this money by working, but I've been classified as disabled with limited mobility and can't sit for long. I don't have any additional funds beyond my disability income. If you're able to help me by donating or sharing my story, it would mean the world to me. Thank you for your kindness and support during this difficult time.
