Helping Steve's Family

Hello This is going to be very hard for me to say this but I am reaching out for help. I have tried my very best to do this on my own but i have failed . My friends took it apon themselves to start this campaign in hopes of getting my wife treatment. So I thought its best to explain the whole story as best as i can as alot has happened. For the past 12 months my wife has been suffering from a debilitating disease in the eye. It started with her waking up a 2am screaming in pain and unable to see anything and I rushed her to emergency. It leaves her in absolute agony and unable to function properly . At first we thought it was just Uvietis a disease that attacks the eyes and causes vision loss. At This point in time no medication has been able to get rid of this disease it just keeps coming back over and over and over again. But that's the least of our problems. Our specialist is more concerned about the excruciating pain she now experience every single day all day. She describes it like a knife being stabbed through her eye into the brain and down one half of her face. She wakes up in the middle of the night screaming and I have to rush her to the emergency hospital to make sure the pressure and imflammation in the eye hasnt increaaed or she can lose more site and this happens so many times and they can't do much but put her back on the steroid drops to lower the pressure, which the longer you use it also causes loss of vision so it's lose lose either way We have tried everything we have seen neurologist, pain specialists optimologist, immunologist, EMT doctors list just keeps going on we are constantly seeing someone every week its getting hard to cover the bills but I do what ever I can. All the medication they have given her just further incapacitate her leaving her depressed and feeling useless. Even though she is in alot of pain she still tried to help and take care of everyone Nothing has worked so far and the doctors believe she has optic nerve cancer which unfortunately in Australia doesnt get picked up until late stage which is then terminal. We do not have the equipment here to pick it up early enough to save her life and we need the funds to go over seas to seek medical help. I am trying my best to take care of my wife cook clean take my daughter to school. Look after my two little children a 2year old and 4 years old but I am at my limits now and barely surving while tryin to maintain work. I'm finding it extremely hard to keep up. I too suffer from a dibiliating disease. I injured myself 4 years back and developed a severe type of fibromyalgia which affects my nerves in my body leaving me in great pain or weakness and loss of control over my body. I have been hospitalized many times I stopped breathing gone unconscious. An injury that left me unable to work for a long time. It cost us our house all our life savings. I had 2 children one was a new born at that stage too look after. We barely had enough to put food on the table. I was so bad I couldnt bend move walk my wife had to wash me bring me to the toilet wipe me put my clothes on while balancing two little kids. She was amazing like a rock always there for me to lean on but my condition took a big toll on her she was so worn out she wasn't eating, she was stressed I couldn't handle seeing her like that from someone who Was happy all the time to walking around lifeless always tired. I couldn't let her live her life like that knowing because of me and my condition we lost everything. I knew i had death insurance and I decided to commit suicide so my wife and children would have money and be taken care of. So I took off in the middle of winter and drove as far out into the bush until i ran out of fuel with no phone money and barely any clothes on to die I was frozen and unconcious but some how they found me 3 to 4 days later. Well any normal woman would of left me by then but she didn't. She wouldn't give up and picked me back off my feet and we started over again. But now she is struggling she needs my help and I will not leave her side I will suck up my pride and ask for help And if that wasn't bad enough things have just got worse. Now I have been hospitalized I fell off the roof because my legs gave way and went weak and landed on my back on the concrete. I was rushed to hospital and now I can no longer control my bladder and even sometime my bowels so now I am rendered useless. Still I am trying to work from the hospital bed still trying to do what ever it takes to bring money in for my wife and children I dont have a choice its either that or watch my wife slip through my fingers I know i am a stranger to you all but I cannot do this on my own. I want to do what ever i can to help my wife. I cannot live without her I refuse too I cant let her just sit here and wait to die. Someone has to be around for my children. Please help her every little bit helps I can't do this alone even if it just means sharing my story with as many people as you can. Well that's our story and most of it thank you all for taking the time to read it and again any bit helps
