FIGHT AGAINST VERY SERIOUS BAD HEALTH
Donation protected
The pain of lack of companionship is suffocating. Please Read my story of Four long years of Suffering and Fighting to Overcome Serious Heart Disease, Serious Lung Disease, Cancer, and Extreme Poverty. I get next to no donations because I am Friendless except for my 90 year old sister, who is about as bad off as I am. I do what ever that is in my power to help and care foe her.
I am not asking for a wonder life. That would be total fantasy. I just ask for a life with less hell. You have the power to help us. You can make a huge difference in our lives by Donating.
Please think about your power to help as you read on.
I am 79 years old and I AM VERY POOR. I can't work in any traditional ways due to MANY DREADFUL HEALTH PROBLEMS like fighting Bladder CANCER. Two Bladder CANCER operations in 2015 followed by years of chemo kept it away. But the Cancer came back again recently and had e third Cancer operations April 2, 2019, .. .... If I could work, I certainly would and not be here asking strangers to give me their support. I cannot even walk up a flight of stairs with out getting badly out of breath due to Serious Heart Disease, and Serious Lung Disease,
Now here is a LIST of the major HEALTH PROBLEMS that are treated by the fine doctors and nurses at the hospital, I have CANCER. I have Serious HEART Problems. I recently had a pacemaker put in but I also have aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation which means I may need serious work done on my heart valve. Ten years ago I had operations on both eyes. I have Glaucoma in both eyes. MY EYESIGHT IS FADING. It is harder and harder to read normal size print. I have Arthritis and Neck Pain. I have breathing troubles. I have digestive problems. ... It is hard for me to eat food so I am extremely under weight. I keep losing weight. I lost over 75 pounds in the past year. ... I have acute bronchitis. With all this, sometimes I wonder why I am still alive.
Here is more about my Cancer. After my first TWO CANCER SURGERIES on my Bladder in October, 2015 and November, 2015, I been having series of chemotherapy. Often after chemo sessions I experience very bad side effects were I am very disorientated with chills, pain and high fever and can just lay in bed the whole day and can hardly get anything done. Than a third Cancer Surgery in April 2019. Now I have a terrible chemo brain. Oh the horror, the horror!
ALL MY STATED HEALTH ISSUES ARE SUBSTANTIATED BY MY MEDICAL RECORDS. My medical records are in my update #73.
My house needs many serious repairs. IT COMES DOWN TO LACK OF ENOUGH MONEY.
In spite of working very hard since I was 15 years old, I have no savings. I live on a SMALL FIXED MONTHLY INCOME. I live with my frail 90 year old sister, born in 1929. ( She also has serious health issues, ) I am very weak but as I said I help my sister as much as I possibly can.
We have lived in the house most of our lives and we deeply want to keep it until the very end. . All our memories and all that we were and are is in that house and that is just fine despite bad physical condition. However we would be happy to move to a very small, one floor house that has no need for repairs. But we cannot sell our old house for enough money to buy a small house, The only hope is to trade our house for the new house. That may not come to be. SEE UPDATE of 2/06/2020 >>> After a long talk, my 90 year old sister and I came to an overdue conclusion. Our 125 year old house is not wroth saving at all. We need a very small house in a WARM climate. Our old sick bodies can no longer take the hellish cold of Northern Ohio. It is pure hell just to step out the door. Please give what you can. Thank you. <<<<<
People on the internet have said many things about me, Some have said have said I should get a loan, There is no way I could pay a loan back even if I could get one.
Also people have said I should contact the church, salvation army, goodwill, and places like that, Well I have many times and in the end it most basically say "Sorry we can NOT help." But I get food at all the food pantries I can get to. So that does not work out out at social agencies for me, . ... One reason I don't get help is that I have a life long speech impediment, many people because of my speech impediment, think I am just strange, dumb, unfit or just nuts. The fact is that I have a BA and a high IQ. But most DO NOT SEE PAST MY SPEECH IMPEDIMENT. Also that is why I always had a terrible time making friends all my life.
I do NOT have the benefit of any friends and family (Except one sister). The last of them died or I lost all contact with around 12 to 15 years ago. This is a key reason why I have got so few donations. I am a stranger. I now know that people just don't care to give to a stranger. But if I was in a group of strangers, like in a hurricane, flood or earthquake , that would be a different story. People would give. But a stranger of one like me, NO. No one will give. I thought that good people would give to someone who is all alone in the world and in great need but I was wrong. Very few have given. But now you can give if you want to make a difference.
Also some people on the internet have said terrible things about me. I feel sorry for them for somewhere along the way they have lost their humanity.
There is a REAL DANGER OF LOSING THE HOUSE BECAUSE OF REAL ESTATE TAXES AND UTILITY BILLS.
UPDATE 9/28/2019 >>>>> I get out of breath doing normal activities. I have a lot of trouble breathing thru out the day. I have a very hard time urinating and have much pain urinating. I have constipation. Now I must pay for cab rides to my hospital appointments. My free rides from The American, Cancer Society have past the yearly allotment. I can only sleep an hour or so a day. Please Help. <<<<<<<<
UPDATE 10/26/2019 >>>>>> My breathing problem has gotten worst recently. More and more I have to fight for air. If this goes on like this it may very well end in respiratory failure and death, I need more home care with physical therapy for breathing and also for walking. We must work on this in order for me to live. Help. <<<<<<<<
UPDATE 12/27/2019 > In the area of the second floor bathroom, a water pipe broke causing much water to leak into the kitchen below. It was too much for the handyman to fix. He said I should get a plumber over but went on to say it is a major job and could run into thousands of dollars. To temporarily stop the leak, he had to turn OFF all the hot water in most the house, Now we cannot wash our hands in second floor bathroom. We only have hot water in the kitchen. <<<
After a long talk, my 90 year old sister and I came to an overdue conclusion. Our 125 year old house is not wroth saving at all. We need a very small house in a WARM climate. Our old sick bodies can no longer take the hellish cold of Northern Ohio. It is pure hell just to step out the door. Please give what you can. Thank you. <<<<<<<
UPDATE 3/03/2020 >>>>>> The end game? I now have severe AS/AI. And I must have Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly. And before that I may have to have all my teeth extracted. Thank you. <<<<<<<
UPDATE 4/03/2020 >>>>>>> I must have all my 13 remaining teeth extracted before my urgent heart work that I have appointments for. I had appointment at Case dental school to have the extractions. My insurance was to cover all the work. Due to COVID 19, my appointment is canceled. I got a new dentist who does not take my insurance. When I asked the cost, he said $4,700.00, I was shocked and just said "no ,no way can I pay that" >>>> This is going to delay my heart work for months. I have Severe AS/AI: now symptomatic, with increased shortness of breath and Transcatheter aortic valve replacement should never be delayed. The DELAY MAY KILL ME. <<<<<

Can you please take the time and Give before we die? It would be greatly appreciated. It will help full the ugly void. But next to no one cares enough to give anything.
Have a Wonderful Life
