I am a self-employed, widowed father of six.  I started a go fund me page because many people asked me "what can I do to help you? " Those of you who know me, know I have a history of health issues. The constant visits to the doctor, all the procedures and surgeries and trips to the hospital coupled with the many medications I must take has left me with quite a large sum of debt. The out of pocket expense for all of this has grown larger than all the money I can make right now being limited in how much work I can do while I care for my health. I take one step forward to fall 2 steps back.

That's when a friend of mine suggested I start a "Go fund me" page.
