Surgery for broken leg

Surgery for broken leg

From Amber Blechschmidt

On Tuesday November 12th I took a pretty bad fall at roller derby practice, I both felt and heard a bone in my leg snap. Several hours at the ER and a next day Ortho appointment, it's been determined I need surgery.

More Info

After surgery I will be looking at several weeks, if not months of physical therapy.  Unfortunately the same day my husband learned he and his entire store are being laid off, effective next week. We are anticipating between the ER bill and my surgery to need at least $700 and I will likely need to take short term leave from my job for recovery and do not have enough PTO to cover the required week before benefits kick in. Any funds raised will be going toward my hospital bills and keeping our heads above water as we navigate my recovery and my husband's job search.
