i am Louis Richards, born and raised here in OKC,56 yrs old and self employed.a trained Machinist,also having done wharehouse and shipping and recieving type work.I was working for myself doing numerous jobs to pay the bills,rental cleanouts,junk hauling,yard work ,tree trimming,scrap metal,and such.During a tree trimming job i cut a heavy limb too long , it came down hit my ladder and knocked me off,10 feet up , breaking my leg in 2 places, classified a tramatic injury by the ambulance crew.Pic is 3 days after aug 13 accident ,i am waiting on wheelchair after being discharged.. At the time  i had enough money to pay my bills up to first of Sept, when i had to sell some tools and things to make it through Nov.I dont have much left to sell and dont have any family left here in OK.My physical therapist says i wont be able to walk around good enough to work  till at least 1st of march,and i dont have any way to pay my bills,i can do every thing i need to around my place, and drive myself, i just cant work anywhere and i cant sit at computer more than 30 minutes at a time.paying bills, buying food, and gas for  the truck is all the money is for, 700$ a month is all i need for 3 months.I have been so lucky to have good friends and great neighbors that have helped me, but they dont have the ability to pay my bills for 3 months and i cant ask them to , after all they have done.if just 400 people could donate 5 or 6$  it would get me through this winter,most of my bills are due middle of the month,only need 200$ first of Dec.making that goal would put the Thanks in my Thanksgiving this year. i am not big on facebook or twitter and such, so if anyone who is would share a link to your friends and family to here, it would be greatly appreciated,Thank you.Ihad a great Thanksgiving ,spent it with some freinds..starting to put weight on leg using walker, will take a month to put all weight on leg and use cane to walk.Now dec 8 started walking on leg with cane, slow,but an improvment over crutches..Going good Thanks to all.
