Dear Kind Donors!
I'm in a medical emergency and facing paralysis if I don't get assistance fast. My medical condition is a spinal disability called congenital Kyphoscoliosis and it's made more complex by a spinal fusion surgery I received as a child.
I live on the little South Asian island of Sri Lanka and the medical care here for complex disabilities such as this is abysmal. After a sudden collapse from loss of feeling below my knees, I got Xrays and checked with a doctor. I was told that I have to get treatment overseas as soon as possible as I was facing paralysis within a few months if left untreated. After checking with many scoliosis treatment centers and hospitals I found that the minimum cost treatment is noninvasive treatment for scoliosis which still costs over $5000 , while surgical treatment is unimaginable at 20x more.
As a very simple writer earning just barely enough to cover my living expenses, I'm completely unable to afford this. I hope that any kind souls can please assist with whatever amount you think is appropriate, so that I won't have to face a dependent, torturous and bedridden life - possibly on the streets if my health gets worse. Or even worse death.
I would be very very grateful for any assistance.
