Desperate need to fund medical procedures
Donation protected
Hello, for those of you that dont know me my name is Daren. A little about me. I served in the Army as a medic. After that I worked numerous physical jobs, stayed very active, played sports, was always on the go, was active in church and was very physically fit. When i Wasnt doing my own thing i spent the majority of my time helping others which made me very happy. This all came to end about 3 years ago when I was hit with an illness that has slowly destroyed my life. As of about a year and a Half ago I have been mostly bedridden suffering what I can only explain as hell on earth. I decline daily now and I am in desperate need of help for treatments. The worst part about all this is I have been severely mistreated and failed by the medical system here in the states leaving me with little help as I suffer and literally decay. I have been in and out of the hospital more times than I can count. I have tried everything in my power to convince doctors that I am suffering some type of systemic illness only to be dismissed and given numerous ridiculous diagnosis's over the years. I will not go into all my symptoms because the list is to long, but basically everything from my nervous system, digestion, skin, bones, lungs, heart and muscles(basically everything) is slowly giving out on me but progressively getting much worse at a fast pace now. Now i have been told that my heart is failing and that one wall in my heart is not working which the cardiologists suggests that I may have had a heart attack that went unrecognized. Now my issue is that doctors here are focused on my heart and still not listening to me. Trying to "fix" my heart is fine but it will not help me because they are not looking into what the true cause is. My only hope at this point is to try to raise money in an effort to get help outside the country. Every little bit will help. If you cant give please help by sharing this. Thank you and God bless!
These first 2 pictures are of me before illness. The next few pictures show just a few of the things I am dealing with and and how I look now.
