Help Josh Cover Medical Expenses and Losses
My name is Josh Hardee. In mid-May of 2021 I contracted a bacterial infection that nearly killed me. The short term effects were multiple painful abscesses in my skin, and a bleeding ulcer in my stomach that caused enough internal bleeding to cause me to code out and need to be resuscitated. The long-term effects were worse. As a result of kidney damage from the infection, I'm now on permanent dialysis treatments. Three times a week for four hours or so I get to have all the blood drained out of me , filtered, and replaced . Even after three weeks of recovery I still suffer from chronic exhaustion, weakness, and several other health issues.
I've been unable to work since May. I'm working on getting back to a point where I can at least be part-time employed but even that is a daily struggle.
I'm not a millionaire, or even very well-off. I'm just a working-class man who lives paycheck to paycheck. I've already exhausted all of my limited savings and I'm at the end of my rope.
I'm trying not to ask for much, just enough to get caught up on my bills until I can get back on my own feet.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
