Hello my name is Billy Stump, I am 52 years old, I am regionally from Cook, CO. I had a house in Ignacio, CO but I lost my house and my job with the oil field in 2007. So I move to Arizona where my wife is from. We live with her mother for four years.
I got another job that had me away from home traveling. My job got slow and my hours got shorter.
I got sick in Febuary 2017. I was coughing and passed out for 2-5 minutes. I woke up to my dog licking my face. My wife took me to ER and they Admitted me right away. I had Ammonia and my sugar
Levels were very high.I finally got to go home with oxygen and alot of medication inhaler $400.00 I could not afford it. So I just took Albuteral for breathing treatments everyday, I go to Flagstaff, AZ every two weeks for Lungs and Heart Doctors. They are still trying to figure out whats wrong with me. I still dragging oxygen around everyday.
It is frustrating not having money to support my family or to pay for my travel to Doctor or have money to eat on. My only income is my sons Social Security Check for $700.00 not enough for 5 family members. My truck got Repo and now I borrowed a car from my brother in law to take me to my appointments. We live in a travel trailer with the five of us not enough room to move around in. Everyday feels like a outdoor camping. we run on propane,generator and solor lighting and sometimes we have no wate,bad phone service and no internet. I have to go out of Town to Chinle to use the computer to go on line a $2.50 fee and copies are 25 cents. There is no street address out here. the ended of the month our a struggle because we run out of money and have to go with out. I never thought I would go threw this. I wish my mother was here with me but I lost her in 2008 to cancer. I get very upset with my sickness and feel very low and helpless. My sister in law told me to try this to easy my stress . I had to put my pride aside and tell my story,
