Please consider helping my cousin Cristi. She is a very loving and kind person who is having some very serious medical issues  at this time. In spite of her situation she remains upbeat and is retaining her beautiful sense of humor. 
       She started having increasing back pain in September and it has turned into a debilitating situation. The MRI showed degenerative disc disease, 2 herniated disc’s, and spinal stenosis. She is unable to get up for more than a few minutes at a time due to intense pain. She has had 1 procedure done and is currently in a nursing home/ rehab center. If these lines of treatment do not work there will be a reevaluation for surgery. 
      Cristi does not get any sick time pay and is living off her savings, which is getting used up quickly. To alleviate the financial stress, we are asking for any contribution, no matter how small. Anything will help during this difficult time. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
