Hi everybody, my name is Jacqueline Rodarmer! I am making this to help my mom in a time of need, my mom has been struggling with severe back problems since October 23rd of 2024, she went to the doctor not long after & found out she has a Disc Herniation (Lumbar Radiculopathy)
This all started when she hurt her back while at work, she was off on Workmans Comp from April 24th, 2025 to May 29th, 2025. She was denied Workmans comp & put back to work. 
She had recieved cortisone shots in hopes that it would fix the problem, but instead things rapidly got worse. She is no longer able to do things she once was, like picking up her grandchildren or walking up a small set of stairs without being in excruciating pain. To top it off, they’ve cut back her hours at work, she went from working 12hr shifts to 8hr shifts, which has left her unable to save $ for her recovery ahead of time. It has been a long, hard road.. she will finally be undergoing surgery on March 4th for her spinal fusion (paid for with her insurance + money out of her own pocket), she is going to be off work for 12 weeks & needs money to cover her rent, bills, etc. since they haven’t approved her short term disability - if they decide to at all, she will only recieve around $200 weekly after her wages are taxed. She is a widow, has a 1 income household & lives alone, if you can share or help at all, even if it’s just a dollar, anything is appreciated. My mom helps so many people & would give anyone the shirt off of her back & never asks for anything in return so this would be a huge blessing to her in this tough time of need. Thank you!
