Dear Friends and Family,

I’m writing to you today because life has taken an incredibly difficult turn for me. For many years, my health has been declining, and despite my best efforts, it continues to worsen. I have a lung disease that, from everything I’ve researched and understood, has no cure—unless I receive a lung transplant. This disease has severely impacted my ability to work, draining my energy and making even simple tasks feel like a struggle. Walking short distances, taking a shower, or doing anything that requires effort often leaves me gasping for air.

In addition to asthma, I have a condition that has destroyed the cilia in my lungs and nose—tiny structures that normally help clear mucus from the respiratory system. This condition, called bronchiectasis, has permanently damaged my airways, making it easy for infections to linger and cause long-term sickness. I have been battling this disease for years, and each year it only gets harder.

Because of my worsening condition, I am in the process of applying for disability benefits. Unfortunately, working as a mechanic has become nearly impossible, and even trying to find alternative work has been difficult, as frequent illnesses leave me unable to maintain steady employment.

While I wait for a decision on my disability claim—one that I can only hope and pray will be approved—I find myself in a desperate financial situation. I was not expecting to reach this point so soon, but I am now struggling to cover my basic living expenses.

With great humility, I am asking for your help. If you are able to contribute anything to help me pay my bills for the next three to six months—or however long it takes until I can secure financial assistance—I would be beyond grateful. I know times are tough for everyone, and this is not an easy request to make. But if you find it in your heart to help, it would mean the world to me in this time of great need.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you can offer, whether it be financial help, prayers, or simply sharing this letter with others who may be able to assist.

With gratitude,

Damon P. Vis
