Please Help Me Save My Leg!

Donation protected
My name is Krystal Karcich and I am a single mom of 3 amazing kids. Two years ago I had a stroke while driving down the highway and hit an oncoming semi head on. Along with severe head trauma and 15+ broken bones, due to the impact of the accident my leg was crushed and 8 inches of my femur blew out the side of my leg. While every dr in 3 hospitals wanted to amputate my leg, Dr Rothberg at University of Utah Hospital chose to take on the challenge of saving it.
June of 2015, they did a major bone graft around the rod (from my hip to my knee) and it isn't solidifying. The rod is starting to bend which causes debilitating pain and I desperately need another surgery to save my leg. The problem is, the surgery is in 2 weeks and I just found out today that my insurance refuses to cover my dr or the hospital. I need a minimum of $7,500 dollars in order to have the surgery but, since I haven't been able to work since the accident, I don't have the fiunds for it. Normally I would never do something like tbis, but I've reached a point of desperation.
Please help me save my leg!! And please share this with everyone. Every little bit helps.
Thank you and I'm sending love to you all.
