To help Abby during her surgery
Donation protected
Hello everyone! My name is James Wadsworth and I’m Abby’s father. I’m doing this fundraiser for my daughter during her surgery and during the time she has to be off afterwards. In 2006 she was in a car accident and 6 years later was left no choice but to have back surgery or she may not have been able to walk again. In 2012 she had her first back surgery and it failed 2 months later and she had to have another back surgery which resulted in a spinal fusion. For the last 11 years she has been doing pretty well. The last 3-6 months she’s had extreme pain and her doctor did an mri and a bone scan which turned out to show the level above her current rods and pins has failed. She will now have to have another back surgery which is another spinal fusion. She will have to be off work for the next 6-8 weeks given all goes well and the surgeon said it will be TBD when she can return to work. It will also take 3-6 months with restrictions so the spinal fusion can “take” and a year to be completely healed. During this time she will be off work with no pay. Chris is working but their income is cut in half and we all know how hard this can be on someone on top of trying to heal. Abby had always been there for everyone in her life, been a nurse taking care of others for 20 years ,and I just wanted to do something to help her and her family out during this hard time.
