offset medical expenses, travel and lodging, traveling to Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart Clinic, and hospital. I have been in constant Arterial Fibrillation since August 2018, which has damaged my heart muscles which in turn only pumps about 30 % of what it should. This in conjunction with being in stage 4 renal failure has complicated my situation. The doctors have told me I would need a gastric bypass surgery immediately, even with the risks of my not surviving the procedure. My survival percentage is zero if I don't. There are not other options open to me. I just turned 72 and would like to live a few more years. These funds will allow us, my wife and I to be able to be together during these procedures, which carry substantial risks, and housing for my wife will require a month or more while I'm hospitalized, as well as medical expenses, medication, and food. We have depleted our savings and are loading our credit cards to the max, especially since I started going to Houston Methodist DeBakey clinic in October.
Prior to that, my wife was being treated at M D Anderson for cancer, that has been a two year ordeal, with the same expenses as now. We travel 255 miles one way for visits.
Please help me as I am in dire need of assistance, we live month to month on our social security income, we're both retired.
