Asslam Alikom, my name is Rehab. I truly appreciate that you are taking a moment to read my story.

I fell on the ground at the beginning of Ramadan. I couldn’t feel or stand on my two legs for one week. I couldn’t move my back. My daughter rescued me and carried me. She carried me the whole week. I used to have severe pain because of four disks in my lumbar back and neck. I have a birth defect in my back, and my left leg stopped working when I was in high school. This is the first time I've experienced this strange and severe pain. I pray every day lying on my back or side. I use my head for bowing (ركوع) and sojod. I tried to rest for one month and did not ask for help, but it's getting worse.

I tried to serve myself and teach and ignore that pain. It became worse.

I started reading the websites of surgeon doctors because I didn’t have the money to go to a doctor. I read that these symptoms can cause severe issues if I don’t start surgery (Paralysis and inability to walk on my feet again). I need to raise funds for my surgery and medical expenses.

I need these funds as soon as possible because I need to pay for the bank loan and buy some food because my credit is stopped to give money and I will schedule doctor visits as soon as I receive the funds.

After I finish this surgery, I need to continue following other chronic diseases that I have to stop them from becoming worse again like this accident. For example, I have two disks in the neck causing severe pain in the neck and shoulders, with no progress by physical therapy. I am still dizzy and need to be seen by a specialist.

I have a big inflammation in my stomach caused by an inside bleeding history and a lot of vomiting now that needs to be removed before it becomes cancer.

I have high roughness in both knees that need to be diagnosed to see if they need injections or something else because this problem stops me from walking or sitting and hurts my back.

I have had a loan for the last six months because I didn't find a job or financial help to cover half of my monthly food and bills for six months.

I write the monthly fees I need to cover food, bills, and treatment because after what happened this year, I can’t stop my treatment again. Severe pain and a lot of loans…

Your help means a lot.

I can cover my monthly food, bills, and treatment by working at any university as a professor or any school as a teacher from the beginning of the next year. I can teach my language lessons online again, at least.

This is the schedule of the amount that I need as a beginning. I reviewed the amount multiple times with some clinics. I follow up on my healing process daily. I will update every day or at most every week with any proofs or amounts of money I need to increase or decrease.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask me, please.

My car down payment is 424. My interest is very high. I am not eligible for help because I am not a green card holder. My health issues are expensive as you read.

If you want to support paying for car cash, send me, please.

Write beside your money, this is for the car, please.

I cannot describe how happy I am to finally be able to walk or sit after many years and to be 80% pain-free and to be able to serve myself and work.

If you aren’t able to contribute money at this time, a share with your family and friends would mean the world to us as well.
