Support "To keep from falling" Bro. Sizwe
Donation protected
Friends, Family, Mudkin and Everyone Else!
After 25 years of bending, mowing, hoeing, planting and creating community gardens/composting sites all over Nashville, my lower back has "given" out and I need surgery to stop the intense pain. The Doctor said I will be laid up for a couple of months beginning July 10th. I am requesting your healing prayers, and any financial support you can share to keep my life blooming during this time.
History
In May I made an appointment with a back specialist who said that I needed major reconstructive spinal surgery! My lumbar nerves have impaired the muscles in my right, hip, leg, ankle and foot, causing shooting pain, and burning heat.

Imminent Need
3 to 4 months of recovery is expected and I have a mortgage and bills to pay. Ironically, my house is still broken from the tornado after 2.5 months of back and forth with my roofer and insurance!

In the spirit of Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), I can use your help. They say that giving is the other side of receiving. Please make a donation today, any amount is appreciated along with your prayers.
Thank you in anticipation and advance.

Special thanks to Karen C. and Jerry H. for encouraging me and putting this campaign together to get me back on my feet!
