Hello my name is Ron. This is the hardest thing I ever had to do. I’m sitting here typing with tears in my eyes. I don’t know what else to do at this point. I’m a single father of 2 and take care of my niece who I consider my daughter. We have 3 dogs. Who got into something and are sick. I can’t afford to take them back to the vet to continue treatment. Let me rewind. Last year the company I worked for for 20 years had to close its doors. I found a good new job but it’s not enough in today’s world. Since then my rent has increased $600 electric is up almost 40% I have since exhausted all savings and have been struggling to keep the rent, utilities and medical paid. Well today my power was shut off and need more than I have to get it back on. I called them last Friday and made a payment and an agreement to pay more this week. I was under the impression they would leave it on. I have to get power back on. It’s to hot and I’m going to loose all our food. I’m trying to find a cheaper place to live but don’t have $5k to move. I’m usually the person that will help anyone out at any time even if I go without. Just the way I’ve always been. 5 years ago a good friend that worked for me passed away. He asked me from his death bed to keep an eye on his widow who is disabled. I have done that faithfully for the last 5 years 3-4 times a week I stop by to see if she needs anything or just for some company. I help another lady who is like family for at least 10 years. I’ve donated time, money and art that I’ve made to many charities for children and wounded warriors. 10 years ago I had an accident and broke my neck and back. I’m sitting at my doctors writing this as since my accident I have medical issues and currently do not have insurance. Gets very costly. Saturday I stepped on something in the water barefoot and it has become infected. Which now means more medical. Also last Friday my doctor notified me that last year when i had insurance they denied my procedure i had done. Adding an additional $1565 on to my $3600 bill. This pains me so much asking for help. But if you can spare anything or share my story to someone that could. It would be much appreciated. I will also be willing to lend a hand doing work or helping in anyway I can as I don’t like asking for handouts. Please keep my family and me in your prayers.

thank you for your time to read this and any donations you make. Every little bit helps
