Help Vince Rebuild After Tragic Loss

My name is Vince Bridgeford and I am 70 years old. After 34 years in a loving and fun relationship with my life partner Shirley, she died in my arms on August 11, 2024. Shortly after her untimely death, her biological family forced me and my belongings out of our shared home of 22 years. I was forced to sell everything I owned, including my work tools and musical instruments, just to meet their abrupt deadline.

My financial situation worsened when I was denied a piece of my life partner's estate and replaced by a member of her biological family. At the time of my beloved Shirley's passing, I was scheduled to have 2 medically required shoulder surgeries. Upon her passing, my medical insurance tied to hers was similarly canceled. As a result, my scheduled surgeries have now been rescheduled. With no family, I was graciously offered a guest apartment by a dear friend until I complete my surgeries and 4 months of rehab. After which time, I intend to return to work as I attempt to rebuild my life without Shirley in it.

The requested amount of donations of $9,200 will help cover the medical expenses related to my upcoming surgeries, which are not covered by Medicare. This requested amount is estimated to last me the next 6 months.

Thank you for taking the time to read and consider donating. I never dreamed I would be in such a situation, especially at my age...
