Hello, I’m Rachel and I’m having surgery to correct my severe scoliosis in early October.
I’ve had this condition most of my life. Being a child, there was nothing I could do to get help for it. As a young adult, I started a family and had two beautiful daughters. They were my priority, so I never addressed my back issues.
Life happened, and I didn’t have the capability to get help. Unfortunately, the pain got to a point where getting help was the only option. I’ve had X-rays and MRIs and quit smoking. I’m doing all the things to make sure this is a success!
Having said all that, I haven’t been able to work. And recovery time for such a massive surgery will be lengthy. It could be 3-6 months before I can get back to work. I don’t like asking for help, but I’m falling on my sword here. Anything will help and will be appreciated more than anyone can imagine. Thank you.
Funds will be used to help pay bills and with after care
