Hi my name is Ben,

These last few months can be described as the worst of my life, I lost my job, I lost the love of my life, I was hospitalized for 2 weeks for renal failure, during that time i lost my dog Gunner, and i was diagnosed with a brain tumor. This all began in August and has just kinda snow-balled, since ive been out of work for so long it's become difficult to keep up on my bills like utilities and soon to be medical expenses.

Tuesday December 17th i posted in R/Roastme in the hope that maybe some internet stranger could bring some light to my less than ideal situation, instead I recieved over a 1,000 comments from people I've never met sympathizing and comforting me through lifes struggles. Due to the advice of the people from both R/Roastme and R/Assistance i have decided to make this gofundme in hopes that I may pay off some of my expenses and hopefully be able to focus my full attention on getting healthy again.
