Needing your help in this unexpected time of need

About 2 years ago, l lost my brother and sister 10 days apart to Covid which literally broke my heart to an extent I’ve never felt before…

Soon after that, I started feeling strange palpitations in my chest and the next thing I know I wound up in the hospital for over 3 weeks…

Diagnosed with atrial fibrillation…

I have been dealing with afib and heart failure for the last 2 years almost 3 years come March 2023. (unfortunately, heart issues run in my family)

Since then I’ve been on a  steady regimen of meds, but I haven’t been able to fully get rid of the Afib.  

In spite of the afib, I’ve kept working to provide for my family.

Approximately  2 months ago while sleeping,  I woke up with severe chest pain which at the time I didn’t know was a heart attack.

My wife decided to call 911  at 3:00 a.m. to get me to the ER and get me checked out.

I was immediately diagnosed with a heart attack and was admitted into the intensive care unit.

They had to place a stent in my heart to save my life. I still have another artery that is slightly closed and I’m hoping that with medication that  it will open up, if not,  I will have to go back in to get  another stent,

Since having the procedure, I’ve been suffering from severe shortness of breath and light headiness all day long.

I make a living as a personal trainer, but because of my cardiologist’s orders,  I have had to scale back substantially in order to get bed rest.

Because of this, my wife had to put her career aside to take care of me full-time while I fight the biggest battle that I’ve ever faced..

This has put a financial burden on us and our bills are starting to pile up, rent being our biggest concern.

I am asking for your help to get us past this hard time….

I'm a very proud man and I have always made my own way and I’m very proud of that, but this is something that is bigger than me right now. It scares me to think that I’m not able to provide for my family. I am totally committed to getting better and getting back to the life I know and love.

I am humbly asking for some help to get past this intimidating and scary time in my life. I thank you in advance and appreciate any donation that you find in your heart to give. I want to get back to being the strong and productive head of household that has always provided for my family and has even given to others down on their luck. I never thought it would happen to me, but here I am. Now I know the meaning of “ Never Say Never”
