Your Help Is Needed - Severe Health Issues

Hi guys,

UPDATE: I have graduated with a masters in Cybersecurity!

I am grateful for everyone's help who contributed. I went through a spinal surgery, had two level disc replacement in my spine, an esophageal surgery and awaiting another surgery. I'm still in poor health and currently looking for work in the Cybersecurity industry. In the meantime, I've run out of funds and could use further help if possible. Thank you everyone.

UPDATE: I have graduated with a bachelors in Cybersecurity!

I am looking for work actively, but I have a ENT esophageal surgery on 12/26 and a Spinal Fusion surgery on 1/24 and I am unable to work for another few months while I recover from these surgeries. I need help for another few months. Please donate what you can so that I can make it otherwise I will be homeless.

In the meantime, I am applying everywhere for work online/remote and in the software/programming/cybersecurity fields.

UPDATE: 80% Axon Nerve Damage in Left Arm

Only 20% of the C7 root nerve is working. I have severe pains in my arm and loss of sensation in all my left hand fingers. I am only 2 months away from graduation. I am out of funds and I desperately need your help. Please donate what you can. Thank you.

UPDATE: Thank you all for your generosity.

The latest MRI of my cervical spine has revealed serious abnormalities, leading to severe pain and numbness in my left hand. These debilitating conditions have halted my ability to work, and my funds have run out. As I grapple with intense pain and the looming threat of not finishing my education, I humbly ask for your continued support. Your generosity will not only help me manage medical costs but also achieve my dream of graduating. Thank you for standing by me during these trying times.

A recent MRI scan of my cervical spine revealed some concerning abnormalities that have been the root cause of my debilitating pain. Imagine a pain so intense that even the simplest movements feel like a mountain to climb. My daily life has been drastically affected – two fingers in my left hand have become numb, and a relentless pain plagues me throughout the day, every day.

To help you understand the gravity of the situation:

The MRI report indicates "Posterior disc osteophyte complexes and facet arthrosis at C5-C6 and C6-C7", leading to a "moderate to severe canal narrowing" at these levels. This is essentially a narrowing of the spinal canal that is pressing on my spinal cord, causing the pain and numbness I am experiencing.

On top of that, there is a "left subarticular disc extrusion at C6-C7", which is causing a severe narrowing on the left side. This is a significant reason for the radiating pain I feel, stretching from my neck down to my left arm.

Unfortunately, these conditions have rendered me unable to work, and as many of you know, I am just on the cusp of completing my studies. My financial reserves have dwindled, threatening my hopes of graduating.

In the face of such adversity, I am reaching out to you all for support. I am in dire need of financial assistance to cover medical costs, therapies, living expenses, and to support my education. I am determined to persevere, to heal, and to complete my degree, but I cannot do it without your help.

Your contribution, no matter how small, will not only alleviate my physical pain but also the weight of uncertainty and stress that I currently bear. Together, we can conquer this challenge and emerge stronger.

Living with (diagnosed) PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, LevoScoliosis in my Spine, Muscle Spasms, Slow Nerve Damage in my arms and hands, General Anxiety Disorder, ADHD, and Arthritis has made it extremely difficult to work most jobs as I have chronic pain.

Autism and spinal scoliosis make it extremely difficult to work most jobs. I have an aptitude for IT, so I enrolled in a bachelor's degree two and a half years ago. I have completed 90% of my cyber-security degree in a time frame of 2.5 years, so I've not worked and all my savings/money went to cover tuition fees, educational supplies, and basic living expenses. Now I have no funds left.

My work in digital forensics and technical communication classes has garnered recognition, and I have earned certifications including A+, Network+, Security+, SSCP, ITILv4, and ECES already.

I am trying to raise whatever I can over the next seven months to cover my very basic essential living expenses, food, and school supplies. Inflation has hit hard, significantly increasing the cost of living and the cost of food. Some nights, I don't have even food and I just fast. I sometimes get food from free food pantries. I am unable to pay rent starting June, next month.

Please help by donating whatever you are able. Anything helps at this point. Even if you are unable to donate, live long, live well, love well, and have happiness, love, and success.

Sincerely,

Hash B.
