I am a 39 yr old homemaker with a 12 yr old daughter. I am writing this letter emailed by my husband because I am hoping against hope that someone might be able to help me n my present state of health. I am suffering from a herniated lumbar disc also called “slip disc” from my spine. I have been bedridden for 5 months now because I could not stand for a straight 1 minute time because of the excruciating pain at my left lower back that radiates down my left leg. Me and my husband financial resources are now drained because of my daily medicines which relieves the pain in my nerves. But, the doctors option is an operation so that I will be able to walk and function normally again for my family. We could not afford the said operation because what we are fighting for right now is for our survival to be able to live and spend for our daily needs, which is our food. It pains me a lot seeing my daughter hurting everyday because she could not stand looking at me in this situation. My husband could not have a regular job because he is the one who personally takes care of me. Before this tragic accident happened, we live normal life like most happy family do, we are much closed buddies. I bring my daughter to school and took care all her needs; I cook for them and all the usual chores and things that a normal mother and wife would do to her family. But now, that I am stuck on bed, I do not know what to think anymore. I feel so helpless and useless. I do not want to give up because of the thought that leaving my family would mean a traumatic experience especially to my daughter. Instead, I prayed so hard that someone with a good heart can help me go thru the said operation though just a part of the expenses maybe we can still find some more people to help us out. It will mean so much to me and my family to be able to walk normally again. I will hold on to that hope that somewhere somehow, there are still people who are willing to help in a way that can make other people’s lives better.
