Recovery

My name is Haven Vondersaar. I don’t really like asking for help with money, but last week, I took a very nasty fall that tore up my knee. I will need a full knee replacement on my left knee and on my right knee, the front of my meniscus is completely flipped from the anterior onto the posterior. I also have what is called the bucket handle tear. I have cartilage damage that extends to my bone and into my thigh with the size being 9 x 8 centimeters. Lastly, to top it off, I have free fluid called joint effusion.

With surgery coming up (around the worst time of year to get an injury) my husband and I will both be out of work for two months as my recovery will take 8 weeks and I am not allowed to put any weight on my right leg. Putting my full weight on my left knee will be very painful as I will need knee replacement, but I can’t fix both knees at the same time like I want to. And if you have one or more toddlers, you can probably understand that barely being able to walk can be very difficult without help. But that also means no income coming in.

If you are unable to donate, thoughts and prayers are definitely appreciated!! It’s Christmas time, so trust me, I understand that money is tight! I appreciate any help or prayers that we can get!
