Many who know me, know I have been a cancer patient for 16 years now with advanced stage prostate cancer. I have been through pretty much everything in relation to cancer, from hormones, chemo, radiation, surgery, more surgery, radiation and back to hormone treatments. Two years ago I suffered a heart attack and in January of this year my Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) failed and was replaced. The surgery to replace my AUS resulted in nerve damage that has caused me to be in significant pain 24/7. I am currently on a new medication that it’s hoped will alleviate the nerve pain, but so far it hasn’t been successful. The majority of people who know me or see me have no idea I've been living with intense pain since January. I don't really talk about my pain or reflect physically my discomfort, I deal with it and continue to do things that feed my joy of life.
As a fiercely independent man, it’s extremely difficult for me to seek or ask for financial help in a public way. Notwithstanding my health issues, this is one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done in my life. Upon turning 62 June 2, my annual retirement annuity from the Dept. of HUD was reduced drastically, I was under the mistaken impression that this wouldn't happen until I was 65. It will take two to three months before my social security will start that will cover the difference my monthly retirement annuity has been reduced by. Being in constant pain and now with this added financial stress, I’m going through a difficult and challenging time. My five hours experience at the social security office today was also a nightmare.
I am asking for immediate temporary financial help of $9,000 to cover my household, living and medical expenses over the next 3 to 4 months until my social security starts. I am an author of 3 books and to learn more about my story please go to my book pages on Amazon Kindle. Men of Color Men of Honor (Under my name, B. Kevin Lauderdale, and a pen name, Zanti Meko-Qwanzi) and Recaptured Love: Intimacy-Sex and Prostate Cancer book I & Recaptured Love: book II (Under my pen name of Kevin Alexzander). By going into the “Look Inside” feature of the books you can learn a bit more about me and my story.
I have been trying hard to turn my life around, I have two new books I'm currently writing and hope to publish within the next 6 months or sooner and another website to get up and going. I've been through a lot over the past several years with my health and the financial strain it has caused and I'm determined to put myself on stable financial ground for my future with the talents and gifts I have to give to the world. What I'm experiencing right now is only a temporary setback that I will overcome, but I need your help.
I would also like to meet with a tax, social security, financial attorney to get my affairs in order going forward.
