Donate to help during emergency medical issues

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Chris and I’m a tattoo artist. During my whole life I’ve always made sure the people around me were taken care of. I’ve joined the Red Cross and flew out to Louisiana during the massive flood to help out, I’ve volunteered to for projects, and have also participated and made charity events with tattooing. The one thing I’ve found to be very hard in life is to ask for help, but here I am. I’m even embarrassed as I write this. About six months ago I leaned over to grab something and let out a little cough. Pop. I herniated a disk in my neck. After a few days it got so bad I had to stop tattooing, eventually leading to me being bed ridden. I have been out of work this whole time and unfortunately as a tattoo artist we don’t get unemployment or workers compensation. I have kept on by the generosity of my family which didn’t have much to give from the start. My surgery is coming up in a week, then I have a few months of recovery. I’m tapped. The bills, my medicine for being a diabetic, taking care of my son, all goes on whether you can handle it or not. I was suggested to make one of these months ago, but my pride prevented me from doing so. I hate to be a burden. I have to ask though, to anyone I’ve helped, anyone I hooked up with a tattoo, anyone I went a little extra with, if you may kindly return the favor with as little as a dollar, it all adds up. The money will go towards bills and meds so it won’t be as long to financial get out of this hole when I return to work as soon as possible. I don’t have any expectations, but I do have a positive outlook and that will carry you far. Thank you.
