The Situation

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out because I’ve hit a significant roadblock and need a little help getting through it. Recently, I suffered a torn meniscus that has sidelined my life. For those who don’t know, a meniscus tear makes basic movement painful and unstable—and in my case, surgery is the only way to fix it properly.

​The Work Situation

I want nothing more than to be back at work full-time, but I’m currently stuck. My employer has strict physical limits on the tasks I can perform due to my injury, and because I haven’t been able to get the surgery yet, I can’t return to my full duties or my full paycheck.

​The Legal Hurdle

Many of you have asked about Worker’s Compensation. Unfortunately, they are currently refusing to cover the surgery or my lost wages. I am currently in the process of taking them to court to fight for what is right, but as anyone who has dealt with the legal system knows, this takes time. Why I Need Your Help

While I fight the legal battle, my daily life hasn’t paused. Without my full income and with surgery costs looming:

  • ​I am struggling to keep up with mortgage/house payments.
  • ​Monthly utilities and basic living expenses are piling up.
  • ​The medical bills for diagnosis and prep are already arriving.

​How You Can Help

My goal is to raise funds to cover my living expenses and potentially some medical costs so I can focus on getting this surgery and returning to work as soon as possible.

​Any donation, no matter how small, goes directly toward keeping a roof over my head while I navigate this recovery and the legal process. If you can’t donate, sharing this link with your network would mean the world to me.

​Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and for helping me get back to work.
