My name is Melissa Temple, and I’m reaching out for support as I recover from a recent emergency back surgery 08/18, then had to have 5 more due to complications since the. After experiencing severe pain and loss of feeling in my left leg, I urgently needed my third back operation. The procedure was complex, lasting nearly three hours as surgeons worked around naturally fused vertebrae, removing calcifications, scar tissue, and tethered nerves. Now, two weeks post-op, I’m facing a long road to recovery that includes weeks of physical therapy to regain my independence.

This experience has deeply affected my family. My husband and children have been my main source of support, but the situation has been stressful for all of us. Both my husband and I have lost work during this time, which has made it difficult to keep up with household bills, groceries, and daily living expenses. I am unable to do basic activities like getting dressed, bathing, standing, walking without assistance, or even sitting up for long periods. Cooking meals and cleaning are also impossible for me right now, and my family has had to adjust to help with these tasks.

Your support will help us cover essential expenses while I focus on healing. Every contribution will make a difference, allowing us to keep our home running and provide for our children during this challenging period. Thank you for considerinng a donation and for helping us move toward stability and recovery.
