To be honest, I wasnt sure whether to put this here or not but then I thought about what my mom would do if I were the one needing medical treatment and not being able to get it because of finances. I know my mom would walk through fire to get me and my siblings anything we need because that is how much she loves us. So I know I have to keep trying until we can get something done. And yes I realize that we may not get near enough money for the surgery but I also realize that every little amount that we get and save toward her surgery takes us a bit closer to the day that I can look at her and not see all the pain she is in. She tries to hide it because that's the type of woman that she is but all I have to do is look in her eyes and the pain shows. I would hate to see anyone living in this much pain but this is my mother, and it tears my heart out not to be able to help her more. So here is a short version of her story.

My mom has been a foster parent for 15 years and still has a houseful of kids...some that she has adopted. My dad is disabled and she has taken care of him for years. She fell and injured her shoulder and now needs surgery on it. She is in pain all the time but she has to have the money up front because she has no insurance....so she cant have the surgery until she has the money. She continues working with the kids no matter how much pain she is in. I'm just hoping that somehow I can help her get this surgery so her pain will eventually go away. I have the medical report of her injuries if anyone needs to see them. Please if you can help I would be so appreciative. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
