    Still so much that I am not physically able to do. Like open up my own water bottle, butter bread, cut meat, moving things is also a no go. Who knew being one armed would be so hard?

About this fundraiser

I'm raising funds because I need shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum and remove a cyst, which will be performed by Beaver Sports Medicine. This injury has left me in constant pain and unable to do everyday tasks, including driving, since it's my shifting arm. Working in education, I already have reduced hours during the summer, but after my surgery on the 13th, I’ll be out of work completely until I recover. My recovery could take 12 weeks or more, depending on what the doctors find during surgery, and I’ll need physical therapy and follow-up care as well.

The funds raised will help cover living expenses so I can keep a roof over my kids’ heads and make sure they have enough to eat while I’m unable to work. They will also help me take care of my animals’ needs during my recovery. Any additional support will go toward unexpected costs that might come up during this time. Your help will make a real difference for my family as we get through this challenging period. Thank you for considering a donation or sharing my story.
