Support Matt's Recovery from two Spinal Surgeries

This morning, I opened my GoFundMe and was truly overcome with emotion—seeing y’all take time to donate, send messages, share my story, and pray for me. That heavy weight of "how will I make this work?" finally lifted off my shoulders.

Yesterday, I was faced with a choice: Pay my past-due utility bill or miss my critical follow-up in Baton Rouge. And this isn’t just any appointment—it’s where my surgeon checks if my bone grafts are healing well enough to finally start physical therapy. But here’s the kicker: the clinic requires me to pay an overdue balance just to walk through the door.

Because of you? I don’t have to choose. Today, my lights will stay on AND I’ll make that appointment. Your support has given me a fighting chance at recovery. It’s proof that God hears us—He’s working through your kindness to keep me moving forward. From the bottom of my heart: thank you.

**P.S.** *If you’re new here: I’ve already had two spinal fusion surgeries (L3-S1). Now, every appointment gets me closer to walking without pain. Sharing this campaign helps me focus on healing… and getting a few steps closer to tackling the next challenge: Physical Therapy!*
