Support for the 1st of 3 Major Spine Operations

Donation protected
Our house payment is $2,205.00 a month. I've tried to gain employment for over 2 years with no luck. I get $0.00 in disability payments since 3-2021. Social Security did me wrong on purpose. Now I have to reapply for something I was and should have for over 17 years because they can't send my paperwork for updates etc... to the proper address the address they were given during my medical update review that turned into anything but medical. I was even told I had no clue what pain was that she had been home fighting cancer for the last 6 months sad to hear but why throw that in my face? What gives them the right to treat me like I don't matter! That's why I am hosting this fundraiser by myself as I am tired of feeling like I don't matter! I so wanted to tell her well lady at least there are cures for cancer. But am to nice. Long story short on the screw over by SSA, forwarded mail had expired and I told her this 4 times so either it was sent to the new address or I would not get it. Trying to get the Greeley Colorado SSA office to answer the phone is like trying to win the mega millions lotto. I did get conformation that my mail had been returned by calling the main office but that was it.

How difficult would 9 yes Nine FAILED SPINE OPERATIONS IMPACT your family financially? Especially if you only had 1 income and no out side HELP I mean NONE!!! Well thats where we are now. Since 2017 Ive needed 3 MAJOR spine operations but I have 0 income outside of my husband whom in my eyes has suffered enough to last a million
life times.
We've been together over 30 years now and he has given up 15 years of vacation for all my medical operations tests etc... We don't ever get to take a normal vacation because the DR decided to just re operate in the wrong spot instead of ordering more tests and discovering what the issue really was. I nearly BROKE IN HALF YES I DID... I LOVE MY LIFE & my family more than I can ever say. David is the best husband and the hardest working man I know he is also to proud to ever ask for help. The way he sees this is he should never have to ask for what should already be offered. I just cant break us financially again I love him and my family to much .Now I took myself off of 15 years of narcotics due to the damage they were causing to my body. Yes I went through 3 years of withdrawal so that I could survive these operations now I've made it through the toughest part now its time to get a little relief.
And unless Im able to raise the money to cover the bills for 2 or 3 months well I'd rather suffer in the constant severe pain 24-7 then ruin us financially yet again. This all started when I was 30 and now Im 49 now and I haven't stood up straight in over 20yrs. I have had 9 failed spine and I currently have 14 levels of fractured titanium inside my spine neck and lumbar. Since 2017 I've needed a major operation on my neck as its fractured along with severe compression on my spinal canal in several spots. I am having numbness a lot and almost blackout with certain movements.
My lumbar fusions are needing repaired as well . I have hardware protruding through my skin. I also need my thoracic fused as well as time has destroyed all my discs. I know at this point 1% improved pain is better than present. However I lost my disability check during COVID-19 and its been over 3 yrs since I have had any income of my own. In order for me to have any of these operations requires income for 2 or 3 months as my husband will have to take unpaid leave to take care of me. It's pathetic when you have to do your own fundraiser but hey I love myself and my family. Unfortunately most of my "friends" & "family" don't give a crap. My husband has already given up 15yrs of vacation time for all my previous medical testing and operations and I'd rather be in severe pain 24-7 then kill us financially. I never play the disability victim either. I keep living the best life possible. Cashapp info $Joker1975CV address is 3825 28th Avenue Evans Colorado 80620.









All money raised is going to be used to pay the monthly bills as my husband will be off work unpaid to help me during recovery. Dr. Chung Woosik in Denver Colorado is the Nation's Leading Spine doctor and he is also my surgeon!
