Help Me Cover Living Expenses & Surgery Recovery
Hi, my name is Shane Pfeiffer, and I’m reaching out for support during a difficult time in my life. Over the past year, my right ankle has deteriorated to the point where I can no longer stand for more than 30 minutes without extreme pain. I’ve been diagnosed with end-stage arthritis in my right ankle, and my left ankle is also starting to worsen.
After exhausting every other option, I have no choice but to undergo surgery to regain mobility and prevent further damage. Unfortunately, this means I will be unable to work for at least 3 to 4 months while I recover. I’ve looked into temporary disability and unemployment, but I don’t qualify for assistance. To make things worse my insurance has denied me leaving me with out of pocket expenses for my surgery being near $30,000. Without an income, I have no way to pay my living expenses and medical bills during this time.
I never imagined I would be in a position where I had to ask for help like this, but I’m out of options. Any donation, no matter how small, will go toward:
- House Mortgage and utilities $900 per month.
- Groceries and daily necessities $500 per month.
- Medical bills related to my surgery and recovery the rest goes to here.
If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to me. I appreciate any help you can offer, and I’m incredibly grateful for your kindness and support during this challenging time.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
Shane Pfeiffer
