Please help, so I can get my back surgery!

Hello my name is Mike! Some of you may know me as lutro0 from my sleeving work online and from my work teaching others how to sleeve.

I am in a tight spot and this was one of the ways I thought of hopefully getting some help.

My back is degenerated to the point where its hard to stand for long periods of time. This means I can only work so many hours until the pain is too much for me. I am setting up the appointments with my doctors for the surgery which is a full lower lumbar fusion (fusing the lower 5 levels of my spine), but the surgery will mean 2 months in hospital for me.

I cried when they told me how long it would take because there is no way I can come up with 2 months of expenses. I have reached out to family but they don't have much either. This is a prayerful shot in the dark for me. I live by myself, but I do have a cat that depends on me. It was a big deal to me when I got this apartment and I love it to death.

Lately my back has gotten worse and worse to the point where I have had to take time off work to rest until the pain subsides enough for me to move about. This means I have become behind in my rent by a month and a half. I may lose my home if I cant come up with some way of getting caught up on my rent and expenses.

My landlord did agree to allow me to let my apartment sit for 2 months when I get my surgery but they want my bills and such to be paid up before they will allow it. So the money that I am needing is to get my rent caught up and enough to cover the 2 months of expenses while I am in the hospital from the surgery.

I am tired of living a life of pain - I used to enjoy going to the gym and being active . I want to move on with my life and get my surgery.

I don't have much to offer back, with the exception of I do enjoy painting abstract paintings and custom computer sleeving. I can promise that if I get fully funded and get my surgery I will make the time to paint a painting or make a set of sleeved extensions for those that are so inclined to help me.

I wont be able to paint or make a set of extensions for everyone, but for those that would require one - I will.

I appreciate you even taking the time to read my story and even considering to help me. I know I am asking allot, but I know there is allot of good people in this world and with a bit of luck - they find this page.

Thanks for your time.
