Tom's Urgent Need for Health Support
My name is Tom Sajdak, and in 2019, I sustained a severe spinal cord injury (C5 and C6) that has left me an incomplete paraplegic. For the past five years, I have been facing significant challenges in accessing the consistent and specialized medical care essential for my recovery and well-being.
Currently, I am in urgent need of nursing care for chronic wounds and require reconstructive surgery due to complications from long-term catheter use. Additionally, I am pursuing stem cell surgery to accelerate wound healing. Unfortunately, my insurance coverage has been downgraded, leaving me without adequate support, and my income status prevents me from qualifying for state aid.
Maintaining consistent in-home care has been an ongoing struggle, placing immense strain on my finances and overall health. My family has provided incredible support, but distance limits their ability to assist with daily care. Without the necessary medical interventions and consistent care, my health continues to decline.
I have launched this GoFundMe campaign as a critical last effort to secure the financial resources needed for these vital medical procedures and ongoing care. Your contribution, no matter the size, will directly support:
* $15,000 for Surgeries: This includes reconstructive surgery and stem cell therapy.
* $5,000 for Care: This will cover essential in-home nursing and caregiver support.
This decision was not made lightly, but I have reached a point where I have exhausted all other options. Your generosity will provide me with a chance to regain stability, improve my quality of life, and navigate the challenges of my recovery.
With sincere gratitude,
Thomas Sajdak
