Help Rochelle recover after spine fusion!

Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name is Stephanie and I'm reaching out for help to raise funds for my incredible best friend Rochelle. She is an unbelievable human being who is going through the darkest part of her life right now due to an unexpected spine injury. If you have ever meet Rochelle, I am sure you love her like I do. She is full of life, a very active and driven young woman who is always on the go working hard and helping others. She has a physical line of work and is self employed, however in the middle of February this year out of no where she fell to her knees in crippling pain. The ER told her that she had a spinal compression with a bulge and went home in wheelchair. Since then, her medical team has had a difficult time managing her pain, and she had been immobile for weeks waiting for posterior lumbar decompression and fusion surgery that she underwent April 1st.
2 days before this surgury they informed her that the spine surgeon she had been working with was covered under her insurance, but the hospital was not causing her to have to pay out of pocket $7,500 just to have the procedure and get some kind of relief. Unfortunately, she woke up in more pain than ever and that has extended her hospital stay and her out of pocket costs.
She has 2 months minimum of rehabilitation, and needs special accommodations made to her home for her wheelchair as she needs to learn to walk again.
She and her partner have been out of work since this has begun and her medical bills at this point are staggering. Please consider donating anything you can to help this beautiful soul literally get back on her feet.
Over the years she has given many people jobs, gone above and beyond to help her friends and family with anything she could and is such an inspiration to myself and others. This girl is tough as nails and wants nothing more than to get back to her old self again, but she needs our help so she can focus on recovery! Please please please share and donate if you can, for a girl who has touched so many people and spread so much happiness on this earth!
