I was hospitalized on December 22, 2025 with pneumonia and kidney failure. I was intubated and sedated for a month. I now have a trachea. Who knows when I’ll get this out. Things have to get better.

This was originally for my car accident. Which I’m still working through with my foot. I’m going to need a brace.

This recovery is taking forever. I’m walking about 7 steps with a crutch but still relying on a rollator with a seat. I can not walk for four more than 10 steps before I have to sit on my walker. I am definitely making progress but it’s slow going. I start physical therapy on the 29th of this month.

My two grandkids were given to me due to my daughter’s fading mental health. 8 months later my daughter committed suicide. My heart breaks. I will never be the same.

I then went through a messy divorce and custody of my 10 year old daughter. My divorce was final November 2024. All of this was very hard the family.

I got in a car accident October 31 in the morning. Just after I thought that I was finally going to be ok. My heel was crushed and my foot was almost torn off. I have been in and out of the hospital. I acquired a serious bacterial infection that ate away most of my heel that had healed. I have had 4 surgeries and I have more to come to reconstruct my heel, lengthen my Achilles tendon, bone grafts from my hips and soft tissue repair.

I’m home and with family. I would like these donations to pay my bills until I can work again. I want to work and support my family. I’m hoping to just be able to walk again.

I’ve never done this before. I don’t like to beg. I don’t know what else to do. Keep me and my children in your prayers.
