Help Trevor Reclaim his Life: Neck Surgery Fund
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Eunice and I am fundraising for our friend of 25 years Trevor Stelmack!
In August 2020, life took an unexpected turn for Trev and his family. An accident at home left him with a severe head injury, rendering him unable to work. Over three years of grappling with concussion symptoms and countless doctor appointments led to a crucial discovery: Trev's neck was severely damaged, causing Cervical Vertigo. His spine, a lifeline for mobility and stability, is compressed due to the injury.
Amidst the despair, there's a glimmer of hope: a solution exists. However, it's not within reach in Canada. The ONZ Clinic in Germany offers the necessary surgery, a beacon of light for Trev's recovery. But it comes at a staggering cost—nearly $80,000—for the replacement of three discs in his neck. There's no government funding, and Manitoba Health Insurance won't cover a penny.
Meet Rebekah, a pillar of strength for the past 3.5 years. Juggling two, sometimes three jobs to support their family of six, she's been the glue holding them together. However, life threw another curveball her way—a serious medical situation with one of her children. The weight on her shoulders is unimaginable.
Rebekah, resilient and unyielding, finds herself at a crossroads. She's been navigating these storms, but the financial strain is pushing them to the edge. Despite her strength, asking for help is not easy. The cost of Trev's surgery looms large, threatening to plunge their lives into further chaos.
Once enough funds have been raised, the money will be directly transferred from GoFundMe to Trevor and Rebekah so that they can book and pay for the surgery.
