My name is John Zwengel. On June 29th, I tripped walking my dogs and broke my shoulder. I started this GoFundMe hoping to raise funds for medical and living expenses.

The whole story: Back in March, there was an accident that damaged the house I had an apartment in. The house was declared uninhabitable, so I had to move ASAP. The new apartment is a huge increase, but it's doable with a few months of belt-tightening. Getting moved on short notice exhausted my rainy day fund.

Fast forward to now: On the night of June 29th, I was taking my dogs for an after-work night walk. I stumbled on an uneven sidewalk seam, fell, and broke my right shoulder. After securing a dog sitter, I drove myself to the ER. The ER doctor confirmed it was broken; 3 fractures in the upper humerus just below the ball joint. The ER doctor was adamant that I go to a bone and joint clinic to avoid complications and ensure it heals properly. They gave me a sling and a pain prescription and sent me on my way. Two days later at the B&J clinic, I got more x-rays and an immobilization sling. A week later, a third round of x-rays confirmed it's healing well, properly placed, and won't need surgery. Thank you, Jesus.

I'll be out of work for the next 4-6 weeks wearing this sling pretty much 24/7. I got medical leave from work, so I'm technically still employed. I'm a delivery driver whose income is about 2/3 tips. So the economic impact of not working is already hitting, and the medical bills haven't even come in yet.

I'm hoping this campaign raises enough to cover my monthly bills for the next couple of months while I'm healing, and hopefully get a jump on the medical bills when they arrive.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and considering pitching in to help.
