Hi, WFLA Channel 8 Tampa aired my story on 5/16 & 5/17. My name is Chris. I'm desperate to get my life back on track health wise since being attacked back Dec 31, 2022 by a homeless couple in Largo, Fl. I was severely beaten with a pipe by the woman while man kept stomping on my head and chest, suffering numerous injuries including broken ribs, broken jaw, many teeth knocked out, bruised heart, and a collapsed lung. My heart now skips a beat my cardiologist showed me. Also bruised my liver severely which I was already having problems with. By stomping on my liver it caused a blood vessel problem in my upper GI which now bursts on occasion and the only way to fix it is by a special banding which has popped off now and then which causes me to bleed out and I don't know that until my stomach fills up with blood! I now pass out on occasion for no reason. I'm in constant pain 24 hours a day. I've been in the hospital numerous times for that and the last time in March I was in ICU for a week intubated because I lost 7 pints of blood. Anyway I was rushed to a trauma hospital in Hudson, Fl after the attack and the team there did a great job of patching me together, but I'm still not totally healed. The jaw is still not right also.
I'm asking for help because I'm going to need a new liver I was told by my doctor so I'm being put on the list, which can be up to 2 years or longer and of course is a major operation. I'm looking for help also to get new teeth. Because of the jaw not healing right they said I would have to get implants. I'm on disability as it is right now and barely surviving. My world is totally upside down. I didn't deserve this. I just want to get better and put myself back together again but I need your help. I hate to be asking for help but I'm at my wits end. Please help whatever you can do. Thank you and God Bless!
P.S. You can Google the attack story. " Largo couple brutally attack man with pipe during robbery" They are both in jail now.
