Burn Me. Bill Me. (Veterans Bill)

Donation protected
Hello:
My name is Vincent Wright and I'm a Vietnam Era Veteran who served from 1970-1977. (3 Honorable Discharges (continuous, uninterrupted service) + 3 White House Security Clearances. (1970-1977))

I've never done drugs, never smoked cigarettes, and don't drink alcohol.

For the past 12 years, I've created hundreds of online communities and have given thousands of hours to help thousands of men and women better understand and benefit from social media.

Thus, after having done such voluminous, non-stop work over the past 12 years, I must admit, it is a bit humiliating to have to ask for help with a medical bill but, if I don't get help I won't be able to help those whom I can still help.

I LOVE helping people ... even those who have everything I've been seeking for the past decade or so...

However, my ability to help others has been seriously impeded by a medical matter gone wrong ... and which continues to go wrong ... seriously wrong...

The 3+ year medical matter got even worse when the Veterans Hospital, staring on September 3, 2015 and continuing to the present, started using the U.S. Treasury Department to deduct payments from a small monthly social security payment I've been receiving since circa June 2013.

While we SHOULD PAY for medicines which help us, should we be forced to pay for medicines which *PERMANENTLY* burn us to the point that we can barely have a 10 minute phone conversation without bursting into a scratching frenzy ... a painful scratching frenzy ... which doesn't stop when the scratching stops ... in continues when you wear jeans, it continues during your sleep ... 

The pictures that you see below represent less than half of the massive skin distortion my body was subjected to for more than 3 years. The scarring and discoloration extended to both inner forearms, elbows, and inner triceps and was beginning to migrate to other areas of my body when I finally got relief on 12.22.2014. My arms have recovered by about 95%. BUT, I've been told by the best doctor I had at the Veterans Hospital that my legs will never recover. As of this day, over a year later, she's proven to be correct.

The 5 monthly deductions which the Veterans Hospital took from my monthly social security virtually proved a death knell to my intention to want to solve my own medical and financial matters *privately* ... (WHO among us enjoys having to destroy our privacy in order to try to save our lives? (And if we don't attempt to save our lives, we aren't able to help people who CAN STILL BENEFIT from things which we can still do to help them.. being injured doesn't kill a natural born helper's desire to help ...))

If you can help me through this humiliating matter and know of a way that I can reciprocate and help you and yours in return, I'd greatly appreciate your support...

I'm seeking $9,800 in immediate funding to help immediately replace the place I'm losing as a result of medical bills from the Veterans Hospital...

If I may take a second to encourage you: YOU and I are not less of a human being because our bank accounts have less than desirable amounts in them. You and I were born FULLY human and, with or without a robust bank account, you and I REMAIN FULLY HUMAN ... and we'll REMAIN FULLY HUMAN OUR ENTIRE LIVES...

Thanks, and, #KeepSTRONG!
