Phil's Urgent Surgeries: Family in Need

Donation protected
Hello,
My name is Phil Constantine. I live and work in Summit County, CO. I've been married for 23 years. I have 2 cats and a dog. I love the outdoors. I own my own business doing Handyman Services and Snow Plowing. I have dedicated myself to the industry I work in. I am a hard worker. I pride myself on doing excellent work. I also donate my time to underprivileged families, providing repairs and home improvement. I go above and beyond for my customers and my community.

For the last 10 years, I have been working with serious medical issues, including hernias and shoulder issues from overworking. Somehow, I have been able to work through it. But over the last year, my health has declined dramatically. I am now recovering from a hernia repair surgery for a recurrent hernia. It has been really difficult. I am also facing rotator cuff repair on both my shoulders. I have been in serious pain, and my shoulders are so bad now that I can't work. I work for myself, and I did not qualify for Social Security.

I have had a difficult time navigating my health insurance. Despite paying and having insurance for years, they have not covered everything, and I have an $8000 deductible. I am in debt now. I have used all my savings. I have sold everything I have of value. I am facing bankruptcy and losing my home. My wife is struggling to help me and work full-time. Her salary is not enough for us to make it. We have worked extremely hard to buy our home. I need to get my shoulder surgeries. I have surgery scheduled for 7/29. I need it desperately. My family needs me, and I want to get back to work. My customers depend on me as well. For 25 years, I have been a part of my community. I have helped many others when I could. It's hard for me to ask for help. I have tried hard to make it. I am scared for my family. Everything I have worked for is slipping away really fast. I truly need help.

Thank you,
Phil
