Help getting back on our feet after back surgery
Donation protected
Hi, My name is Brian, and I'm starting this fundraiser for my daughter and myself. In January of 2021, my daughter injured her back yet continued to work through the pain daily, working between 60 and 80 hours a week. In September, her back flared enough to put her out of work until we could find out what was going on. In December of 2021, my daughter and I met with a surgeon who got her in right away for a one-level spinal fusion and decompression surgery. Recovery is a minimum of three months of healing, putting her out of work until at least March of 2022. At that time my daughter filed for FMLA to secure her job and heal. We have exhausted all savings and my monthly disability pension during this time. My daughter has worked very hard to provide a life for us. We purchased a home and a vehicle this last year due to all the hard work and now fear losing it due to lack of income. The mortgage, vehicle and medical insurance premiums are what we are currently financially struggling with. Asking for help is something neither of us is very good at but is always willing to help others whenever possible. We also understand that there are many of us struggling with covid and other financial burdens, but we appreciate any help anyone would be able to give.
