Joseph needs a miracle. Help Joseph heal.

Hello,

My name is Joseph and I need your help to create a miracle of healing.

On May 23, 2024 I was in an accident at work that has left me in pieces. I was on a ladder about 10 feet off the ground when the ladder I was on slipped out from under me. Imagine doing a belly flop on water but instead you have done a body plant on concrete while holding onto a ladder.

I had a major concussion, severe whiplash, and several injuries. I have pins and needles in both hands, sprains, a torn shoulder, severe neck pain, and nerve sensitivity in my feet. I now have Post Concussion Syndrome and doctors are very concerned.

I haven’t been able to function well at all since the accident. In the last month I have gone to the emergency room twice because of these injuries. My speech has been affected and I am stuttering and slurring words. My sleep is so bad that I am waking up every night, sometimes multiple times per night without the ability to go to sleep again for hours sometimes. Sleep is the number one factor in healing and I can’t sleep. I can’t reason very well now. I get migraines and headaches all of the time now. I also deal with IBS but ever since the accident I can’t maintain control of it. I’m in constant pain and my conditions are now chronic.

My primary care doctor has ordered me not to work until I can get stabilized. I am on short term disability but the insurance company isn’t trying to pay for it and I didn’t have short term disability insurance.

To further create issues, my landlord told me that he wants me to move out but I don’t have the money for another deposit and don’t know where to go.

My situation is spiraling and I need help to prevent a further decline.

I am willing to do everything to be healed and have been told by God that I will receive a full recovery from all of my brain injuries, and I believe Him. Jesus Christ healed the eyes of the blind with spit and mud. I know he did that. I am seeing how many of my pains and sicknesses due to this injury and others have been made lighter. It is through Jesus Christ that this is being done. He will provide the miracle of complete healing.

I am raising funds and awareness to cover essential medical treatments, copays, medicines, equipment, other related expenses, and living expenses related to my recovery from these injuries.I need to cover the costs of ongoing treatments, specialist visits, and any necessary procedures for my recovery. I need support with essential living expenses, including rent, utilities, and transportation to and from medical appointments during this recovery period.

Funds will also help cover the costs of necessary medical equipment for home use, including devices to monitor my health and assist with recovery. These funds will help cover costs for the upcoming months as I continue to recover. As my recovery needs evolve, I may adjust the goals of this fundraiser to better reflect my situation.

A portion of the funds raised will be used to market, advertise, and promote this fundraiser to attract greater awareness and reach a wider audience. This will help ensure that I can secure the necessary support for my medical care and recovery expenses.

I have set up a GoFundMe account to start helping pay for my necessary medical bills and living expenses while I work towards healing. The initial goal is $2,000. I will need to adjust this in the near future when I find out the costs of the other medical providers and treatments that I need.

The brain healing I need will be the most crucial part of my recovery, and will require the most amount of money. Initially, it will require intensive therapy for an extended period of time, from weeks to over a month. I am currently researching and being evaluated for care at two different concussion clinics that are experts in the industry. The therapy and healing they can provide is state-of-the-art, using the best in technology to heal brains. I will keep you posted with updates.

Please, repost and share my story as much as you can—every share brings me closer to the care I need. I urgently need your help, not just in donations, but in spreading the word! Sharing this campaign with your family, friends, and social networks can make a huge difference.

I’m setting up several accountability measures to track how every dollar is spent, and I will keep everyone updated on my progress.
You can donate through GoFundMe. You can also donate through Venmo at WhataGreatLife. You can also follow my journey and stay updated on instagram at Joseph_Houck.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and any help you can offer during this challenging time.

Gratefully,

Joseph
