The Peterson family

Hello, it's me this time, asking for help.

I am so grateful for the support you've given this first time around but... I'm here again.

This has always been one of the hardest things for me to do, which is asking for help. I've been unable to go back to work and as soon as it's safe enough for me to do so, I'll be there. I'm not sure when or if that's going to happen.

For some reason I haven't been approved for disability insurance yet. Which is a little head scratching because having an Lvad (Left Ventricle Assisted Device) is one of the conditions that should be fast tracked, but here I'm STILL waiting to hear back.

It's been 6 months of great healing. A few ups and downs, hospital stay here, hospital stay there and so far I'm still here, still positive, still healing and getting stronger.

This is the hardest thing I've ever experienced and I know I'm still just getting started.

I'm hearing positive things from my Lvad (Left Ventricle Assisted Devices) team. Strong candidate for the heart transplant but, it still feels a little up in air.

So here I am, again, having to ask for help

I hear from friends, family and some strangers saying that they would like to help. So if you can and feel able,

I am asking for your support.

Without working I feel more like an anchor then the captain of our little tiny ship.

I'm crossing my fingers that disability will come thru but I'm broke today and that adds stress which adds to negative set backs.

I know this is a big ask the second time around

But here I am.

Thank you for every bit of financial, physical and emotional support you can give or have given.

Thank you so much

Nate
