Hi everyone! I wanted to share a little bit of my story with you all.  My hope with this go fund me campaign is to raise some money to cover out of pocket medical expenses and help to cover some  necessary bills, such as rent. Because of my unexpected and costly health issues, I have been out of work for a couple of weeks and its unclear when i'll be able to return. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much in advance!

I am bleeding internally and they haven't been able to locate the source. I starting feeling sick on 4th of July and attributed it to something I ate. Over the next 2 weeks, I lost 8 pounds (I am 6'4" and weigh 157 lbs), experienced severe fatigue and nausea. Two Saturdays ago, I became light headed and dizzy and went to the ER where I was admitted to the ICU. My red blood count was critically low. They gave me 4 units of blood which brought my count up to a safe but not normal level. They performed an Endoscopy, Colonoscopy and CT Scan with no answers. They released me Monday and I was back in he hospital Thursday. They gave me 2 more units of blood and performed a Capsule Endoscopy which involves swallowing a pill size camera that moves through the entire GI track over a 7 hour period and records 66.000 images. Those results also produced no answers and I am still bleeding.

At this time, we still have no answers for the cause of the internal bleeding. The plan is to stabilize my blood count so that I can hopefully return to work. At this time, I am unable to do so.
