I was diagnosed with epilepsy after I started having grand mal seizures. One on September 17th 2019 would change my life forever. On that day I had a particularly bad seizure which caused me to severely damage my shoulder. I separated my shoulder, as well as damage the bone on the ball joint. The bone chipped off and remained in the socket. I needed shoulder reconstruction surgery. After the surgery I was laid up unable to do anything. This caused me and my family to keep our heads above water. This came after moving to a new place only 3 months earlier. We're still barely making ends meet without paying the medical bills yet.The year 2020 has not been good me in March I had COVID-19 which aggravated a rare blood disorder which caused my spleen to think my own blood cells were pathogens and started to enlarge. On May 19th I had open splenectomy which gave me a foot long scar due to the size of my spleen it was 6lbs. I spent a week in the hospital. After a week at trying to recover something wasn't right, I still had a lot of pain in my abdomen. I was taken to the emergency room where they discovered a pocket of air and internal bleeding. If I didn't go to the ER that night I wouldn't be here today. I had emergency abdominal surgery where they reopened my scar, "cleaned up" and stapled me back up. I spent another week in the hospital and this time the pain was unbearable. I have been home recovering. I'm still not working due to the pandemic and the Unemployment Benefits that I was supposed to have received 4 weeks ago still have not been received due to a clerical error. My wife and daughter and I are asking for your help to keep the power on, and buy essentials such as groceries. My daughter's birthday is a week from today and it doesn't look like I will be to afford it. PLEASE HELP, PLEASE DONATE.
