Help with medical & finances. A chance to live.

Hi, my name is Trey. I am looking for donations to help with my living and medical expenses. 

I have been diagnosed with end stage decomposing liver disease, portal hypertension, esophageal varices, ascites among a couple other things. Any of these diagnosis can and will kill you in itself, sadly I have all.

 I Have been unable to work because I have spent the better part of this last year in and out of the hospital and sick. I have no way of helping with finances and my wife is the only one who is working. I do not have insurance and am trying to get SS disability insurance but many know how long the process is and I may not have that long. 

All the prayers and any help would be greatly appreciated and is greatly needed as I have been given the worst possible scenario and that would only give me maybe 3 months to fight to stay alive. I am hopeful with following everything the doctors and specialists have told me as far as diet and meds, to have a chance and a prayer that my liver meld numbers would go back down. They went from a 13 to a 31 very quickly and 40 is the highest ( worst ) you can get.

Its hard for me ro admit that I am scared and my family is scared.  I am a fighter and everyone knows that about me! I am not giving up hope. I have to look at the 30% chance of surving this VS the 70% chance that I will not. The specialist said it is possible but in no way a given  It is just very important to get this number down to even be able to treat the underlying issue which has caused the cirrhosis. I cannot be treated for it nor considered for a transplant unless the number goes down significantly. I have  hope that it can happen by strictly following the Drs orders, the treatments, Meds and diet.  I have not been needing to have my abdomen drained, which is called a paracentesis ( roughly a 10 in needle in my abdomen to draw fluids out). That is a  good sign but in no way the only hurdle in my path to surving this. I was having to go to the E.R regularly and several times a week at first and now it is longer periods in between. That is a  good sign that I actually may be headed in a positive direction vs the alternative which sadly statically much more likely. 

I do not like asking for help, I hate to ask for help. I am truly unable to work and help with finances is beyond measure. Most of these doctors and specialists wont see me without payment and that has been impossible!  The amount is soaring already & thats way before i can wrap my head around a transplant that I pray that I get chance to even have.

 It has been beyond very hard all the way around. This situation is something I felt that maybe the people I've had in my life over my lifetime may feel that they could help me/ us during this time.. 

All the prayers are needed and appreciated and again thank anyone and everyone who contributes and sends prayers and positive vibes this way!
