NEED HELP FOR POST SURGERY EXPENSES

Dear Friends,

Unfortunately, I’ve become disabled and can no longer work at all. Over the last several years, I’ve lost all the toes on my left foot and had a heart attack, quadruple bypass and knee replacement. Now I’ve been diagnosed with a condition called Charcot Foot, and I need my right leg amputated below the knee. The condition was caused by years of inflammation and infection resulting from Diabetes.

After the surgery, with a decent prosthetic, I should be able to get back on my bicycle, do my own yard work, go for a hike now and then and live an active lifestyle.

Asking for help is difficult for me. I’ve always taken care of myself. I’ve been managing on Social Security, but with current inflation, I have no money left at the end of each month. I don’t know how I’ll be able to pay for the minor modifications to my house (ramps), a mobility scooter, and other supplies that insurance may not cover that I’ll need after the surgery.

I’m not homeless or hungry. But, I can’t afford these new expenses, and if I load up credit cards and go into debt, I’ll never be able to catch up. I believe that approximately $5,000 will get me back on my “feet.” Only your generosity will make that possible.

Please share this with anyone who may know me or want to help. Thank you in advance for whatever you can contribute.

Michael Brooks
