Medical Bills for Disabled College Professor
Donation protected
Hi my name is Tim Lubben. I am a college professor and I have a progressive neurological disorder. This GoFundMe is a way to pay my medical bills.
Following is a Partial reprint from this 2018 article about my situation.
- Seven years ago, Tim Lubben, a health and physical education instructor, suffered a mysterious paralysis of his legs, the cause of which doctors still have not determined. Losing function in his legs and having to use a wheelchair, combined with the lack of a diagnosis, discouraged Lubben and shook his once-strong faith. However, he persisted and gradually regained his positive outlook, while remaining dedicated to teaching at Kennesaw State.
- He now is applying that experience to help teenagers who are struggling with their own obstacles in life. Lubben is volunteering with teens detained in Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice facilities, teaching them sociological principles related to society and culture and their impact on behavior and identity. He hopes they can apply the lessons to become productive and law-abiding citizens.
- "Things happen to some kids that make them say, ‘I’ve lost my faith.’ The same thing happened to me, and I worked through it," Lubben said. "For me, there is a spiritual component to this. I feel like I’m called to help people and to communicate love.”
This article was written five years ago. My disease has progressed to where I am no longer able to teach. I am now in need of full-time care. It is very expensive and I do not have insurance.
Please consider helping me with my medical bills.
