Hello ladies and gentlmen,please allow me to introduce myself.My name is JAMES STUMP and I could really use your help in any way that you are willing to provide to me and my rescue dogs,my fur babies!!! In October of 2017, at the age of 44,I survived an ISCEMIC STROKE and I am grateful that it didn't kill me.But, I am still recovering from this a year later and it's been a very difficult time in my life,personally. I am still in physical and cognitive therapy to heal my body and my brain.And I am seeing multiple doctors in my determination  to fully recover from this set back,and I should fully recover based on what my doctors are telling me.I am also seeing a mental health specialist to address my depression and severe anxiety disorder.But,I have been slowly healing and I am really struggling in too many ways to handle all of this by myself. I am a simple man and my physical limitations, because of the limited mobility of my right arm and hand and my right leg and foot accompanied by my most pressing  issue that I am facing,  which is the unending and relentless fatigue that I struggle with  on a daily basis due to the enormous amount of energy that my brain is exerting constantly ! It is what is necessary for me to maintain my balance,regain my coordination and control of my limbs which is a serious issue for me physically and emotionally! So,I can not work doing what I do for a career and it is proving to be quite an unending challenge and a major hindrance while additionally taking quite a toll on me in too many ways for me to be able to handle this  all on my own.I am a painter by trade and can no longer paint until I have recovered.  Due to my lack of skills in anything other than physical labor which is what I require for my career, has proven to be quite a hidrance and I am sruggling to pay my bills and my rent.I am currently in a battle in an attempt to receive temporary SSI disability financial support which only adds to my relentless and increasingly problematic financial situation.On the upside, I have been blessed with my soberiety for over 3 years, 4 months and 16 days and am also in addiction recovery and I am beyond grateful to be sober.I am a Christian man,devoted to God and have been blessed with the valuable opportunity to better my life through the strength that my faith provides me with through him! I am getting better thanks to the Lord,but my financial situation has placed me in a position of desperation due to me potentially becoming homeless and once again losing my rescue dogs.I have spent all of my retirement savings over the past year in order to support  myself and my rescue dogs by myself and can no longer provide for us right now.Im doing my very best to stay positive,hopeful and grateful throughout my struggles but it's all taking a tremendous toll on me.I am hoping that with your help I might avoid this occurring and pay my rent,my bills and fix my soon to be inoperable car that I rely on to get me to all of my multiple doctors appointments,stroke survivor and addiction support groups and to run errands in order to care for myself.I am a beggar by no means,but I am not prideful and not ashamed to reach out to other people and let them know that I need some help with all of these issues that Im facing.I have no intention of seeking financial aid for any longer than is necessary.But I am at a point of desperation and really need your support and assistance.I am in fear of time running out before I can no longer pay my rent and my bills and only have a week or so to get in front of this or me and my dogs are going to potentially be homeless and indigent!I waited until it  became absolutely necessary for me to seek this platform fundraiser in order to attempt to receive any financial  assistance from average ordinary people  just like you and me.Im just your average man trying to make my way through life and provide for myself and my family.So,after all is said and done in regards to what I have just been sharing with all of you about my very personal life,which is now not so personal because I shared my struggles with all of you,right here,right now,and that wasnt easy for me to do.But,IAM IN DESPERATE  NEED OF ANY HELP FROM YOU GENOROUS PEOPLE TO MAKE IT THROUGH MY ENORMOUS STRUGGLE!!! So, there it is ,this is my dilema and I can no longer go it alone. That being said,any contribution of any kind would be such a tremendous help to me being able to hold on to the last true form stability and comfort that I have left, MY HOME and MY RESCUE DOGS,WHICH ARE MY CHILDREN AND HUGE SOURCE OF MY SUPPORT, LOVE and EMOTIONAL COMFORT !!!I am hoping that by allowing you to hear my plight, that  you might  identify with just how many struggles that I am facing concurrently and going through on a daily basis and just how emotionally,physically and mentally draining that all of this is for me.God bless you all for taking the time to read this and I'm praying that you just might be empathetic to my harships.Once again,ANYTHING,NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR LARGE of a donation that you would be willing to donate will make a huge impact in our lives!Thank you all so very much for providing  me with what could possibly be a life changing gift,God bless you all and have a wonderful day,sincerely JAMES STUMP.
