Let's help Joanne

Joanne Parham is beyond a caring person and volunteer helping anyone in her path and needs our help !...everyday is a struggle with intense pain.
Joanne was rear-ended at a high rate of speed back in 2013 causing severe damage to her lower back.... surgery was performed after the accident with little to no success ,her pain is almost unmanageable .
Previous to the accident Joanne was a volunteer first-responder firefighter and fuel quality manager and currently a volunteer in her community and clergy in her church .
Since her surgery back in 2013 Joanne has to endure very painful injections just to maintain her mobility ...Joanne needs to have two to three discs replaced and caging of her spine before her spine collapses and leaves her paralyzed and in a wheelchair.
Joanne is having no success finding a surgeon that will do the surgery required ...a surgeon was seen at the beginning of 2019 , his opinion was surgery is needed but she needs to find someone with the expertise to perform it..... then the process starts again looking for a new surgeon .....wait time is 1-2 years to see a surgeon and an additional five years before surgery.
Joanne sent her MRI to Washington ....the surgeon informed Joanne this surgery needs to be done as soon as possible before her spine collapses!
If Joanne is to enjoy any quality of life this surgery in Washington is needed before paralysis sets in .
Joannes goal is to have this surgery before this happens as she is still young and she has lots of life yet to enjoy...... everyone around her will benefit from this surgery because she wants to help and give back to her community .
