Help Me Walk Again After Two Surgeries

My story is simple… I am currently unemployed because I need 2 surgeries and I will be out of work for months.

I am having a hip replacement surgery on 6/12/25, and as I said, I will have no income. After I have healed from my hip surgery, I will need spinal cord surgery. By the way, my spinal cord is being compressed and our insurance has denied my surgery. I have tried to get disability, but they keep telling me that I don’t qualify because of my work history. Believe me, I really don’t want to ask. My husband works full time and weekends too. I won’t have money to pay for the spinal surgery. I don’t even know what I would need. I will update the post when I can. Right now, I can barely walk. I have a walker as well as a cane. Someone I know gave me an old electric scooter so I can do some shopping.

I hope that you can find it in your heart to help me. Thank you for reading this.
