Reggae artist Zally has just shared a Press Release in which he is asking his supporters and members of the public to help with the funds needed for his surgery. Here is the full media release.
As many know, I, Zally, have been in the hospital since Thursday September 27th, 2018. I am having surgery on my spine on Monday October 1st, 2018.
Starting in June 2018 I had issues with numbness, tingling, and burning in my left hand. After going to the doctor, I was told I had carpal tunnel and prescribed Voltaren gel which made my condition seem worse. All of a sudden my left knee/leg had weakness, numbness, and stiffness. This grew worse over the past couple of months as it became more difficult to walk. After having an MRI on Friday September 21, 2018 the radiologist discovered that there is compression on my spine, as shown in the picture above. As well as herniated discs and spinal cord deformity. Lately it has been very difficult to get around and one day I fell. I was admitted to the hospital and surgery is the only option. Because of all of this I have not been able to work or do any shows, since I am also a reggae artist. These funds will help with costs related to surgery and bills. Any support is greatly appreciated in this time. Blessed.
