Financial help for wife's illness & surgery

Tomorrow if financials don't improve, we will cancel.

I'm so scared that the will cancel this surger because of the financial strain it will place on our family to not have her wages. Her surgery in on thursday so if she doesn't see any help coming in today or tomrrow, she will cancel.

The one thing that is great about my wife is she does nice little deeds for people everyday, and she has tought me to do this too. I feel like no one in the world even cares anymore.

My wife has suffered from chronic pain in her neck since she was a little girl. She always had good days and bad days, it was manageable. About 6 months ago she starting having more bad days. Dr's refused to do much for her. They finally sent her to physical therapy (which she did faithfully and it made no difference). It took many months of therapy before they finally decided to do an MRI. Her Dr. said there was a herniated disk that presses on her spinal cord. Her words, "no big deal, continue with physical therapy." She got a second opinion from a spine dr. and it was much more than that. She has 4 different things wrong with her. (herniated disk, pressing on cord; degenerative disk disease; spinal stenosis; and bone spurs that rub each other)

She is having surgery on May 8th and she's considering canceling for financial reasons. Our insurance pays for the surgery, but they don't pay for my stay so I can be close to her (it's too far away from home). We will have to pay for that and also gas (which is crazy). The most important thing is she will be without pay for awhile. Because of her pain and depression (suicidal) that has gone along with it, she was hospitalized for awhile and burned up all of her PTO. We have 4 children to support and she is our main supporter. I don't want her to cancel it because I am afraid of what this is doing to her mental health. Please help! If many people donate just $5, we will hopefully survive.
