Help Phil get back on his feet

Donation protected
I injured my leg a few months ago and was walking with a limp. I thought it was better but on June 5th it buckled underneath me. Turns out I fractured my tibia and will be out of commission for the next 6 weeks, so 8 weeks of recovery time. When it happened, I went to the emergency room at Long Beach Memorial and they gave me some pain pills and took an X-ray. I just got the bill for that and it was $2585. They sent me to another hospital the next day and I saw an orthopedic surgeon—he thought I tore my ACL. They took a few X-rays and told me to come back on the 19th. More X-rays. Thankfully I don’t need surgery, but I know more bills are coming. 

I work for myself as a DJ, karaoke host, trivia host, and singer. For the next 6 weeks I can’t carry anything, which will make working very difficult. Luckily Alex’s Bar and The Good Bar have been great to me during all of this but I will need to hire assistants for my upcoming DJ gigs.

It’s really hard to ask for help but I’m seeking assistance because the medical bills, combined with my not being able to work as much and needing to hire people to help me out, are overwhelming. If you are able to donate a few dollars or even just share this link, I would be forever grateful. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
