Helping the Ganje Family Cover Unpaid Medical Leave After Second Major Knee Surgery

Dani is scheduled for essential knee surgery on October 17th to repair a torn meniscus, requiring a six-week recovery where she must be non-weight-bearing. Unfortunately, this is a familiar and daunting path: she is undergoing the same procedure she had in 2023 on her other knee. The required six-week recovery is stressful, as the first recovery was complicated, slow, and challenging to manage.

Our most significant challenge this time is financial: Dani’s six-week medical leave is entirely unpaid FMLA. With a busy household of five (including a mortgage, two car payments, and childcare for three kids), losing her income for this long will create a devastating shortfall of several thousand dollars.

We are actively pursuing assistance, but these funds are desperately needed to cover our monthly fixed costs—like mortgage and car payments—until Dani can fully return to work. Your donation will directly ensure our family can pay our essential bills and focus on her healing. Thank you for bridging this critical financial gap for us!
