Support Joey's spine
Donation protected
This is a very difficult thing to do. I've always been a hard working guy that takes pride in taking care of people. I've had multiple jobs in order to support love ones. I'm currently getting ready for my 4th spinal surgery. I had my first at the age of fifteen. Pain has always been a part of my life, but I've never complained. There are so many out there that have it worse than me. Recently when I was diagnosed with diabetes, I took it as a life challenge about being healthier, changed my diet, and have lost 32 pounds in six weeks. I'm proud of being able to do that even though I haven't been able to be active. With that being said, my spine is currently in the worst shape it's ever been in. I have multiple large ruptured discs in the lumbar portion of my spine. This is the region of my prior three surguries. In addition I now have multiple ruptures in the thoracic region, degenerative disc disease and bone spurs on the vertebrae.
The pain is severe, some days I'm unable to stand and walk. I've been unable to work since February and, as someone who's always lived paycheck to paycheck, have seen things fall further and further behind.
If it was just me I'd keep on as is and figure it out on my own eventually. My pride demands that. But I can't let that get in the way right now. I need help. I have loved ones I help support.
There's no telling how long I'm going to be down for. It hasn't been fully determined what the plan is for my spine. I need to find a way to take care of those I care about. I've tried a bunch of things in order to do that but none have worked out, so I'm turning to you.
The money you gift me will go to making sure people I care about are taken care of, along with me, during this challenging time. It's really hard to ask for help. I honestly hate doing it. But I will for those I care about. Thank you for reading this, and thank you for helping.
