On 1/17/2015 I was dancing on stage at the EchoPlex for Bootie's Decades show when my Achilles tendon snapped in two... disabling me.
I am having surgery on 2/6/2015 to reconstruct my tendon. They will be removing the tendon that bends my big toe and grafting it to the achilles tendon. I will be bedridden for 6 weeks after surgery.
We need to raise a minimum of $1500 before surgery to pay the hospital. My husband is also going to have to take two weeks off of work to care for me.
We need your help.
We have medical insurance and I am currently using a wheelchair to get around. I will need to do about 4-6 months of physical therapy after I am cleared to walk again (which will be 6-8 weeks after the surgery).
$3000 is a small amount compared to the overall expense of the surgery and rehab. We will be going into debt and I don't expect anyone to help us with that. We do need help now, before the surgery, though.
ANY amount helps.
If you donate $50+ you can get yourself a custom illustration by my husband. The easiest way to claim that perk is to order the illustration here:

Thank you, sincerely, for helping me out!
This was an unexpected, sudden and disabling injury.
