Surgeries needed for crippling spine disease

Donation protected
Hello,
My name is Candace and I am reaching out to you on behalf of my beloved sister Heidi. She is facing a challenging health journey and needs your support.

Heidi has scoliosis. She was diagnosed at the age of 12 and has been enduring the pain and debilitation of this condition ever since.
She has had 2 surgeries on her back in the past. The first surgery at the age of 17 and the second surgery at the age of 27 when she had two young children to care for. Now at the age of 37 and as a mother of 4 she is facing 4 additional surgeries.

Without these surgeries Heidi is in extreme pain that she deals with every single day.

Despite her strong spirit and determination, the financial burden of this surgery is overwhelming. Heidi has already endured so much, and she should not have to face this challenge alone.

How You Can Help:

We are humbly asking for your support to raise funds for Heidis much-needed back surgeries. Your contribution, no matter the size, can make a significant difference in her life.


Here's how your donation will help:

• Cover the cost of the surgery itself.
• Assist with post-operative medical expenses.
• Ease the financial stress and allow Heidi to focus on her recovery.

Every donation counts:

• $10 can help purchase necessary medical supplies.
• $50 can contribute to pain management medications.
• $100 can aid in covering follow-up appointments and physical therapy sessions.
• Any amount you can spare will bring us closer to our goal.

Sharing is Caring:

If you are unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing this campaign with your friends and family. Spreading the word can make a world of difference.

Closing Words:

We believe in the power of community and the kindness of strangers. Together, we can help Heidi get the medical care she urgently needs and give her the chance to lead a pain-free, fulfilling life.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity. Let's rally around Heidi and support her on this challenging journey toward recovery.
