My name is Butch, and I'm reaching out because my medical equipment has become so outdated that it's now a real health hazard. It's been eight years since I've had equipment that truly meets my needs, and over time, things like my mattress, lifts, hospital bed, and wheelchair cushion have all worn down. These aren't just comfort items—they're essential for my health and daily life.

Right now, my old mattress is causing me serious problems with pressure skin breakdowns, which are painful and dangerous. The hydraulic hoyer lift I rely on doesn't lift me up and down like it used to, making it harder and riskier to move. My hospital bed is breaking down, with parts that need welding and a lift mechanism that no longer works. All of this makes it nearly impossible for me to get out of bed and exercise, which is so important for my health and well-being.

It's been a long time since I've gone online or asked for help, but I simply can't afford to replace this equipment on my own. This isn't just about comfort—it's about extending my life and improving my health. I can feel my health fading week by week, and I need help now more than ever. Any amount you can give would make a difference. If you can't donate, please consider sharing my story with your friends and acquaintances. Your support, in any form, would be a true blessing and could change my life.
