Hi everyone, im not sure if i should do this ir not because I know there are people way worse off than I am but I am struggling so I thought I would give it a try. Heres a quick version of what has happened to me.. it started about 11 years ago according to my medical paperwork, I was tubing in the river and i got a small cut on my foot well long story short it got infected, and I found out i was diabetic but that part of it is completely under control now thank god .. butI ended up starting to lose my toes on my left foot and after many surgeries, they finally decided that i had to get it amputated below my knee to stop the infection for good. Well I went back to work for about a week and a half and the infection came back on my other foot well long story short after many surgeries on that foot I ended up losing that leg below my knee so because of all this i had to quit my job at American overhead door after 20 plus years .. so I have one prosthetic now but I’m trying to get used to it and I have a doctors appointment this Friday hopefully to get cleared so I can get my other prosthetic.. the reason I’m doing this page is to try to get some of my medical bills paid and I’m struggling very hard with groceries , trying to paying my rent, bills i can go on just like most of us probably can .. and also I would really love to be able to get something nice for my parents for Christmas if that was possible and works out because They are both in their 70s and they both still work to take care of me .. they drive an hour to come to town to go grocery shopping to help me with laundry to cut my grass. With groceries by going to the salvation army for me. pretty much anything I need they are there for me ,They are amazing and there’s no way I could do it without them. So if I’m asking too much or out of line, I apologize, but I just thought I would give it a try. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and God bless.
