Support Shamika's Knee Replacement and Leg lengthening surge

Help Save My Leg: Knee Replacement and Lengthening Surgery Fund

Hello, everyone.

My name is Shamika Pinder a 29year-old Bahamian and I'm reaching out to you for support in a time of desperate need. I have recently been diagnosed with Osteoarthritis of the knee, and the pain and suffering it has caused are beyond words. My doctors have informed me that I urgently need a knee replacement surgery and the lengthening of my right leg to alleviate the excruciating pain and prevent further complications. As if that weren't enough, I also battle type 1 diabetes, adding another layer of complexity to my situation. Without this surgery, the possibility of amputation looms over me, and I refuse to let that happen. Living in the Bahamas, access to specialized medical care is hard. I have surgery in 3 months at the Paley Institute in West Palm Beach and it comes with a hefty price tag, one that I simply cannot afford on my own. The pain is relentless, often leaving me unable to walk or work, impacting not only my physical health but also my livelihood. Your generosity and support would mean the world to me, as it would provide me with the chance to reclaim my life and put an end to this agonizing ordeal As I navigate this procedure and doctor's bills without insurance coverage. every contribution directly aids in accessing the care I need My friends and family, we're pooling resources to ensure I can undergo surgery and manage associated expenses. No donation is too small, and every bit of assistance brings me one step closer to a pain-free future.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my plea and for any help you can offer.
