Greetings,

Dear family, friends, and my blue cord brothers. I never thought I would be doing anything like this but, I need help! I've always been able to take care of my family on my own. Recently, I have delt with some serious medical issues and they have kept me from earning a living.

In early December, I began suffering extreme pain and had non-stop vomitting for almost 24 hours. My wife took me to the emergency room where they discovered I had kidney stones. I was also suffering from severe dehydration, constant chills, and loss of appetite. I was sent home and told to wait for the stones to pass. My symptoms only got worse and an emergency cystoscopy was performed to remove the stones. A second trip to the emergency room was necessary due to the continued dehydration, chills, and no appetite. As a result, I've lost almost 25 pounds and have muscle atrophy.

Now, the medical bills have begun arriving along with our regular monthly bills. We have exhausted our savings and have received some help from my boss and a few of my wife's family members. It has been a great help but, they have their own bills. Any money we recieve will go directly to paying bills. This is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do! I'm getting stronger and hoping to return to work in the near future. Any help you can give us would be greatly appreciated and I would be forever in your debt!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
