I am a 68-year-old man. I started Door Dashing in September 2025. I was informed by my doctor from the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, that I had a very large and rare tumor on my right adrenal gland. The VA told me that it was not going to be removed via surgery at the VA, so they referred me to the University of Michigan Medical Center. I reported to the U of M Medical Center on December 29, 2025. The surgery was successful. My surgeon told me it was a 6-hour process, including a dozen doctors, assistants, and everyone else involved. Two days later, my surgeon informed me that the tumor was benign, which was what I, myself, and my entire church family had been praying for.

After a couple of days, a whole lot of problems started to unfold. I had the surgeon team, the liver team, the kidney team, along with the medical team, nurses, everyone trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I had many IVs in both arms, I was having my stomach drained, a catheter in me, laying on my back for two weeks. I was discharged after two weeks and I returned to my apartment. For two weeks, I felt so bad. I had gone from 220 pounds down to 160 pounds. I looked and felt terrible.

On January 21, 2026, I went into a diabetic coma and one of my neighbors heard me. I know it was my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ yelling through me because I was in a diabetic coma. I was rushed to the hospital where I was told it was a miracle that I was alive. The doctor then informed me that I was having renal kidney failure. The hospital in Monroe, Michigan, then had me transferred to the U of M Medical Center where I had my surgery. They immediately put a port in my neck and started dialysis to keep my kidneys working and keeping me alive as well. After 10 days or so, I was discharged and I returned home. After 10 dialysis treatments, I was told that my numbers had greatly improved and that I no longer would have to do the dialysis treatments, 4 hours per visit, 3 times a week. My Lord and Savior Jesus answered my prayers again.

Since I can no longer be a Door Dasher, nor any other form of work, my bills are piling up and I have fallen on hard times. I am simply asking for your help so I can get out of this temporary hardship I find myself in. Thanks for helping me out with this request and may God bless you.
