Help John Rebuild and Care for His Brothers

Donation protected
Hello everyone,

My name is John & I'm a brother to 2 special needs brothers. Both are 100% disabled, incontinent, nonverbal, so they've had to rely on me taking care of them, their needs, etc. for a very long time. A few years ago my health started declining, currently right now with a $6,000+ month medication cost that's required for me to keep going. But with all this & more, drowning financially would be a understatement. My story isn't a great one to say the least. But there is no family to go to. There is no support system. Every avenue has been exhausted.

Recently my computer stopped working. Its how I am able to bring in any $ or do anything. I also make content & go by the name of Lokim23 & so that avenue is completely & utterly broken now too. Essentially what is called a "brownout" happened & fried my computer. Something that even if you have a surge protector? It DOES NOT protect your electronics from being damaged or fried from this type of thing.
Unfortunately I learned this lesson to late.

Its really hard for me to ask for help, as I've always tried to help others. I've always been there for others - ranging from helping & taking care of elderly with Alzheimer's & Dementia, special needs individuals like my brothers & including my brothers to being there for people who were struggling & going thru hard times themselves in alot of different ways. And I will continue to do such things until my final dying breath.

But right now I am very exhausted, burnt out, scared... really a mixture of so many things right now

I'm reaching out for help & hope now myself, as the wise saying is - You must first help yourself before you can help others

I need to firstly replace/fix the computer. If you're able to contribute anything towards that it would be greatly appreciated. But you would be also contributing towards helping to throw me a life raft due to expenses of my medical & basic survival among a very long & growing list of other issues. And I would be so very grateful with any & all assistance.

Every share, donation, & message of support makes a massive difference.
