my name is Robert Stigen i don't know where to start or how this is supposed to go. I have waited a week to do this because i have been too prideful to reach out. many of you know i have been a firefighter for many years and this is the time of year i should be out making the money i need to provide for myself and my kids through the winter. on July 11th 2021 that was all taken away, there is a lot of detail i can't go into however on that night/early morning while camping outside Yosemite i was shot with a 9mm and taken by life flight to a trauma center in Fresno, the bullet went through my right thigh and then hit mt left leg, My left leg is doing great however my right leg has major damage and its unclear if or when i will walk again as there is little movement in my foot and absolutely No feeling. i feel like ill make a recovery but it is going to be months and months of healing and physical therapy. that being said i need to find a safe home for myself and my 20-month-old son and ill need to be able to provide for all of our needs as a single father. not being out on the line with my brothers and sisters is devastating for me and not working to do what i love and provide a decent life for me and my two boys (oldest lives with mom most the time) is destroying me inside. i am asking so so much i understand and if you cant donate just please continue to pray for us. i hate having to be in this situation and asking for help but i have come to the conclusion that i have no other options and need to reach out for help.. thank you all for your love and support during the physically and emotionally trying time. please feel free to share this as i need all the love prayers and support i can get
