<div>Hi, my name is Paul Hoover. This my second attempt here. First one didn't go very well. I am trying to raise money for medical and living expenses.
</div>
<div>Everything has done nothing but gotten worse for us. I try to keep my head up and I try to think positive but that's extremely hard to do when all your hopes and dreams have been taken away from you. See back in January 2023 I was diagnosed with terminal Stage 4B metastasized prostate cancer. Cancer treatments are a money pit even with insurance. There co-pays, prescriptions bills that don't stop just because you can no longer work. I'm sure everyone that will read this can absolutely agree with this. I was told by my doctors to apply for Social security so I did. After 9 months I got a letter back from them stating that terminal cancer wasn't a disability. So here we go on to step 2 lawyer time. Yay me. So my wife Karen found me a lawyer and we filed an appeal. We are currently still waiting on the results of the appeal. They sent me to a Dr of their choosing just to be told exactly what my Dr's had already told them. 2 I was told file it on the VA I am a veteran. So I did that as well. After about 10 months I got a letter from them stating that my cancer couldn't possibly service connected so I filed for an appeal there only on the appeal I got exactly the same response not service connected. Like social security I am currently on the 3rd stage with an attorney awaiting a medical board date. In the mean time we have bills that are continuing to pile up. Because of me my wife is about to lose her business which was all the income we had coming in. We'll me an a company called Todd and Sons Transportation out of Kentucky staffing her on a 10,000 dollar invoice. As I said things have gotten much worse since being diagnosed in January. We can't afford the insurance to stay in business and we can't afford the truck payment any longer either. I see people put these things up and I see them get all kinds of assistance for everything from buying some kid a size 22 shoe to hey I wanna take my dying mother on a cruise. So I figured I'd try again. I'm physically not getting any better in fact everything has gotten worse for me. I'm taking drugs like Morphine, oxycodones and Lyrica just for pain. Most days it doesn't work anymore. Kinda just barely knocks the edge off. In the mean time my wife Karen is giving it everything she's got to keep us afloat and pay the bills, my prescriptions and co-pays all on her own. It breaks me to see her going and going with no end in sight. We are now literally to the point that we have to pick and choose food or medication, light bill or Dr appointments. All of our savings is gone every penny. I guess I'm just hoping that someone will help. There has to be compassionate kind people somewhere left in this world. I know I'm not the only one having issues with a tanked economy and inflation out of control but at the same time I'm praying that somewhere there is someone that can and will help us. My wife will work until she flat runs out of juice but she can't work if we lose her business. All of our utility bills are past due, all of our insurances are past due everything. I need to file bankruptcy and can't even do that. We are at the end if the rope. I'm praying that God will forgive my transgressions and my doubt and hopefully through this provide us a little relief. Other than getting on my knees to beg there's nothing else I can do. Please if you can anything will help. I hear people say everyday if we could we would. I'm beyond that now. We are beyond the heartfelt we're praying for you. We greatly appreciate anything anyone can do. Tha k you for reading yet another sob story but it's all I've got left.
