Support Ruth Ann Shields' Critical Brain Surgery
Donation protected
Hey, for those that don't know me, my name is Ruth Ann Shields. Back in October, I had brain surgery. The neurosurgeon had to remove a Chiari malformation that was growing inside a tumor-like cyst and drain a syrinx. I've had a knot on the back of my head since then that they claimed would go away, but unfortunately, it hasn't. It's just gotten worse, and now I have to be admitted into the hospital Friday so they can go in and do more surgery.
During this time, I haven't been able to go back to work, so my mom has been having to help me with everything. I'm asking for help due to me being in the hospital anywhere from 6-8 days, and I will be in ICU for 5 days. I'm asking for help so I can pay for whatever my insurance doesn't cover for my surgery and the medication they give me, and to also help my family and fiancée with gas money to the hospital and for whatever food they bring me to eat.
If you can't help, I understand. If you could just say a prayer for me and my family and share this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and have a blessed day!
