My name is Robin.  I have spent my whole life in Fort Worth (so far).  I will be having a much-needed knee replacement, so I will not be able to work for the next 6-8 weeks.  I am able to pay my bills when I am working, as long as nothing goes wrong. I will be receiving disability from my insurance company, which will help a little, but it is a small portion of my regular income.  This campaign will hopefully cover the rest of my expenses, as well as medical bills, until I am able to return to work.  My monthly expenses include house, car, phone, gas, electric, and food.

My job requires me to be on my feet all day, and the knee pain is becoming increasingly difficult to bear.  The doctors insist that I can't wait any longer.  It is time.
