Saul's upcoming Surgery
Donation protected
First, I would like to thank you for taking time out of your day to read this and giving towards a life-changing surgery. My name is Saul, and I am a husband and a father to 4 amazing boys. Earlier this year, I woke up one morning with terrible back pain, and since then, I have rapidly declined physically. I have been in a wheelchair for the past 3 months because I cannot physically walk on my own. I have seen doctor after doctor, had test after test, and had bad news after more bad news. In the middle of all of this, I was told that the physical state I am in is where I would be for the rest of my life, in a wheelchair. After praying and not accepting what the Doctors said, I did my research and found a doctor who performs life-changing, noninvasive surgery, Dr. Duek, with Duek Spine Institute in Florida. We had a zoom meeting on October 18th. it went terrific; I am a candidate for the surgery and was told I would have a 90% improvement physically, meaning be able to walk again and have my life back! Yesterday I received a phone call from Dr. Duek's office informing me that this surgery costs $49,000 plus expenses. It would all have to be out of pocket since it is still considered an experimental surgery, and unfortunately, our insurance would not cover it. It would have to be paid in full before the surgery is performed. I don't believe God brought us this far only to bring us this far. It has been a very long and trying road for my family and I, but God has been with us every single step of the way. This money would be used to pay for the surgery so that I may be able to have my life back, and my family has me back in many ways. Thank you so much for all of your support and prayers.
