<div><strong>Help My Mom Get the Procedures She Desperately Needs</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m reaching out on behalf of my incredible mom, Susanne, a woman who has given everything to support others, and now needs a little help herself. She’s in a fight not just for her health, but for her quality of life, and she can't do it alone anymore.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Six years ago, while simply playing on the playground with her granddaughter, my mom fell — not far, not hard — but somehow, the way she landed shattered her heel. She had to be carried out of the park by strangers, and that moment changed everything.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since then, she’s endured four major surgeries, complications from allergic reactions to surgical implants, and what we believe is nerve damage from a nerve blocker. Her pain didn’t just linger — it grew. She was eventually diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), one of the most painful and difficult-to-treat conditions out there. CRPS has no cure, and treatments are often trial-and-error, expensive, exhausting, and rarely covered by insurance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/90866013_1748656502306173_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Her condition has only worsened. She now has:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Bulging and herniated discs in her lower spine, causing sciatic neuropathy down both legs
</li>
<li>Bulging and herniated discs in her neck, causing pinched nerves down both arms
</li>
<li>Nerve damage in her left foot and entire left leg
</li>
<li>Chronic pain in her arms, hips, and legs
</li>
<li>Inflammation that makes her feel like her body is constantly on fire
</li>
<li>And of course, CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome)
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She doesn’t sleep. She barely eats. She keeps going.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On top of that, my mom is supporting my disabled sister and my 12-year-old niece, both of whom live with her. Despite all of this, she continues to work full-time as a hearing aid specialist, helping people hear, feel heard, and reclaim their lives. She shows up for everyone else — always. But now she needs someone to show up for her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What She Needs Right Now</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her doctors believe that a spinal cord stimulator could finally offer her relief. But before she can have the device implanted, she must first undergo a trial procedure, which costs about $4,000 out of pocket. That’s money she simply doesn’t have — not after years of medical bills, travel for treatment, medications, and supporting a household on her own.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/90866013_1748657209150238_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If the trial works (and we’re praying it does), she’ll still need:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>The full spinal cord stimulator implant surgery (at least $10,000)
</li>
<li>4 Nerve ablation procedure - Radio Frequency Ablation ($6000)
</li>
<li>Multiple injections in her neck to stop the vertebrae from compressing the nerve (TBD on the cost)
</li>
<li>Continued care and pain management support
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is her last option. She has tried everything: medications (to which she’s allergic), anti-inflammatory diets, pain institutes, and more. She can’t take opioids, which is both a blessing and a curse, because nothing else is helping anymore.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div>We’re raising $30,000 to get her through this trial, the necessary procedures, and ongoing care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every single dollar helps. Every share helps. Every bit of support matters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mom is the strongest, kindest, most selfless woman I know. She never asks for anything, even when she should — but right now, she needs help. She deserves relief. She deserves to enjoy her life again, not just survive it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for reading, for caring, and for helping us fight for her future.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>With so much gratitude and love,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
