Help get Vaughn back on his feet
Donation protected
Hey friends! My name is Morgan, and I'm making this on behalf of our amazing friend Vaughn, who needs some extra help from us.
In December of last year, he was experiencing some intense chronic pain that began quickly developing over the course of a few months until he ultimately received a spinal stenosis diagnosis in February of 2023. Spinal stenosis puts pressure on the spinal cord and the nerves within the spine, which results in debilitating pain that can leave someone bound to limited activity, which is the case for our friend. While physical therapy quickly became a priority, he was able to see some positive results but ultimately took a few steps back when the pain worsened over time, which affected his quality of life and ultimately his work.
His current treatment plan includes anti-inflammatory medication, steroid shots, and additional mobility therapies until a decision on if surgery is the right choice can be made.
Because of all this, Vaughn has been unable to realistically commit to new work as he navigates adjusting to his ongoing physical health needs and financial stress. The inevitable build up of monthly bills, including unpaid medical bills, has been weighing heavy and is creating a foundation of worry that our friend needs and deserves relief from. The goal outlined in this GoFundMe will cover 2 months of:
- Rent and utilities
- Anti-inflammatory medication as well as his SSRI, Zoloft
- Car payments + insurance/gas
- Cat food + Litter for his babies
- Groceries
With this goal in mind and some temporary financial relief, Vaughn will be able to focus his attention and time to creating a pathway towards his health with a clear mind, free of financial stress, so he can eventually reach a place of contentment and look for full time work again.
Let's help our friend!
Love you Vaughn.
