Hello, I rarely do this, but I’m doing this because I always have too much pride. But everyone that knows me knows I’m always there for people and always look out for people, helping out where I can. That’s a factor I got from my parents. Since losing my parents, I gave up living a happy life and put myself in this dead shell of a life form—just work, work, and smile at people and show I’m happy, but inside I’m dying slowly. I have neglected my health to just live in pain and slowly see my body shut down.
Several years ago, I was admitted to the ER with severe side body pain on my left side and couldn’t find out what was going on. I was diagnosed with nerve damage in my lower back and needed to commit to going to physical therapy, but I couldn’t afford it, so I stopped going. I was in a depression stage, so I didn’t care, but the pain is starting to come back and becoming unbearable. I will have to start therapy again. I have been having severe nosebleeds where my nose will bleed excessively without stopping, causing me to go to emergency rooms. My nose has been bleeding on and off again, where I have to have two procedures done.
Last year, I had a fall accident, and my knees were injured. Doing a procedure and therapy was out of the question, but now my pain is hitting me hard where it’s sometimes hard for me to get out of bed to work. I do have insurance, but it doesn’t cover the specialist or therapy I need or require me to pay upfront out of pocket. I would have to take off work when my knee operations happen, so I’m asking for help from family and friends to help me out. I would not bother sucking my pride up, but I don’t want to miss seeing my nephew grow up, so I need to get my health together and take care of me and my health and pray those pains are fixable and removed from my life. I’m asking for any help to help me reach my goals. I have visits to specialists soon. I just need help raising the cost to cover my out-of-pocket costs, therapy sessions, and time off I need. I need to at least reach my goal of $25,000 to be able to take off work for to handle my health. Again anything is helpful and If you can’t help, just share.
