Preparing for Surgery while Suffering through Bankruptcy

Donation protected

Unfortunately these past 3 months I have totally had a major set-back from a fall I had due to not having the funds to buy the brace I needed to walk properly. After waiting months and going through intense physical therapy, my doctors finally realized that the new components they added to my prosthetic in Sept has come loose and has separated from my knee which is what caused my knee to completely lock up and put me back in the wheelchair. Last week my ortho surgeon said 2 surgeries are now needed to fix knee. One is tomorrow for draining purposes & exploratory to help with second surgery which will be to replace parts. Meanwhile last Monday I had to file bankruptcy which will end with me surrendering my home this summer (my home I raised my daughter in as a single mom for 17 years). The bankruptcy has literally taken any kind of savings I have been able to come up with so the thought of moving is very scary when I have no deposit or first month rent readily in hand. We are not even sure how we are gonna eat this week while waiting for July's disability check to come. I really HATE asking cause I know everyone has alot going on as is but if you would be able to help us out in any way we would be truly grateful & very appreciative...Thank You!!!
