Donate to Help Corey with Medical and Living Expenses

Hello, I'm Corey.

This is something I hoped I'd never have to do.

I once lived what I would call a very fulfilling life.

A good job with good pay. A beautiful home with property. A social life. I loved helping people when I could; we held many benefits for people in need. I've even let complete strangers use our barn and property to hold benefits of their own, to help others.

It is a good feeling being a part of something that could change another one's life. Coming together, making a plan, everything to setting it up all the way to seeing the individual's face that you helped make life a little easier.

It's overall a beautiful thing.

Well, now, I'm in a position that requires me to call upon an angel.

Quite some time ago, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

Through the times it was manageable and never kept me from things I loved to do and with the people I loved doing it with.

Unfortunately, that has changed.

The medicine that was used to help control my rheumatoid arthritis has stopped working. Biological medicine is the only option available to help control rheumatoid arthritis, and anyone that's familiar with these medications will tell you that they take months to feel any relief from them, and that's if they even work at all. Unfortunately, it's been almost two years and so far none of the other biologicals have worked. As a result of the meds not working, my body is in continuous pain and is breaking down. I'm now due for two knee replacements; I can barely walk. And if they don't find something soon, they're talking prosthetic limbs. My original rheumatologist said there's nothing more he can do for me, so I'm now referred to the University of Michigan in Brighton, Michigan. Now under the care of a new rheumatologist and on new trial meds, but so far, no positive results.

Nonetheless, I'm still hanging in there and remaining hopeful.

Because of my condition, I lost my job, my home, and had to downsize to live in a camper on someone else's property. As a result of me not working, I'm falling behind on my camper payments and vehicle payments. My vehicle is in dire need of repairs and I can't even keep insurance on my vehicle.

It's the only vehicle I have to keep me going to doctor appointments.

It's one thing to drive a vehicle with no insurance, but if these issues aren't addressed soon, I won't have a vehicle to get me there and back.

I'm not asking for a benefit to be put together in my honor, I'm not asking to come out ahead through donations.

With my camper and vehicle payments falling behind, no insurance on my vehicle, and my vehicle being in dire need of repairs, I'm just simply asking to break even at the very least.

$3,500 is the goal.

This will catch up on camper and vehicle payments, reinstate my auto insurance, and cover vehicle repairs.

If you're unable to donate, I'm asking everyone to share this far and wide.

Thank you in advance for not only taking the time to read this but for donating and sharing.

God Bless...
