Hello everyone,

I am needing help. I currently have a grade 3 ligament tear in my CFL in my ankle, and it is causing me to have pains at work. So, I am needing surgery, but my insurance won't cover much of the payment, and I haven't been able to work due to my tear. I am suffering tremendously. I hurt my ankle back in December and I've been working on it ever since, not knowing my ankle was severely torn. My pain tolerance is very high and I feel since I've been dancing for 13 years that other parts of my body were working harder so I could walk. Things got worse over time and I began to have a limp. I went to get treatment in mid-April. I've been in a boot/brace for almost 3 months and going to therapy. I feel that the RICE and therapy isn't working because I have to work to pay my bills. I don't want to become homeless. So if you guys can help out with anything, please, I feel so helpless right now. I'm the strongest to everyone, my friends/family, now I just feel so weak. I've been so down lately, mentally and physically. I just need some help so I can get back on my feet and continue my journey with dancing. Thank you for anything you guys send. I am highly appreciative!
