This fundraiser was made to help my 19 year old friend who is desperately in need, as he is going through extremely rough times right now in many different places. As much as I would like to name him, his family who are extremely hostile and aggressive and could potentially leak his personal information or cause further irreparable damage to him. Because of this, I will keep his name anonymous.
My friend has not only gone through a tremendous amount of pain and anxiety relating to problems with his family, but he even suffered from near homeless at some point because of them. He is currently in a house, however it is not a permanent place of residence. This is also combined with the fact paying for food and shelter is nearly impossible due to physical conditions that he suffers from as a result of the neglect and abuse he has dealt with from his family.
Because of this, someone is helping him in the household so he can get back on his feet, while paying for the residence (which was already given to him by someone who wanted to help him). A big reason why he has kept afloat is because of people's generosity and donations to help him alive. Its not that he can't get a job, its that the ailments he has do not allow him to work in a proper work environment right now, and he is trying his best right now to change that.
Even after a recent surgery to help him fix his jaw, there are still of damages he has incurred over the years and he still needs medical attention for. Even now, doctors believe he needs another operation to help work on his jaw again to help him out.
He currently suffers from multiple different conditions, including:
- Insomnia
- Sleep Apnea
- Exhausting Fatigue
- Declining Mental Health
- Serious Physical Pain (especially within his jaw and head)
- Migraines
- Breathing Issues
- Malnutrition
...and the list could go on. These mentioned are already enough to cause him to struggle with executive functioning on a day to day basis.
He wants to become a functioning member of society, and really does genuinely care about wanting to help other people. But with everything mentioned previously, its been difficult, and so because of that, we wanted to make a GoFundMe for him as our last resort. If you by any means want to donate even a tiny bit of money to help him, he'd be eternally grateful.
He is asking for 15,000$ total. If you did donate to him, first the money would go to him to fund current medical expenses he needs so he could start to function and live properly. This includes another operation doctors have reported that he needs in orthopedics orthodontics (this would help him breath properly again), alongside medication to help him properly focus.
Secondly, it would go to medication to help him get back on track. With this medication he could finally work a full-time job to make a proper income, allowing him to become independent.
Third, the other portion of the money donated would go to basic living expenses so he can have food and shelter. Anything in excess would go to him again for more food and shelter.
Overall, if this fundraiser is successful, he would truly be able to start a proper path to recovery so he can live his life and get back to normal.
Anything that would come his way would be incredible, so if you do choose donate, it would mean the world to him.
Thank you for reading, and we ask you to keep him in your prayers. Thank you, and may the Lord bless you.
