Hello my friends,

I just wanted you all to know, that, last Thursday evening I had a Heart attack. I am currently at Truman med center I.c.u down town awaiting to be transferred to Research Hospital in the next day or two for open heart surgery.

I am still wrapping my head around how serious of a surgery this is. The Doctors are optimistic and have a favorable prognosis, that is the good news, the bad news is, after surgery I will be down and unable to work for several week.

As most of you know I am self employed and currently have no insurance, leaving me in a serious financial pickle.

I am facing a battle, quite literally, for my life and my livelihood, nothing short of the hardest battle I have ever had to face.

Both my physical health as well as my financial stability lye in the balance. This is sure to be the battle of my life, and I simply can not face this alone

As most of you know, I am not much one to ask for help and here I find myself, humbly, asking, you my family, friends and loved ones for your help, without your prayers and financial generosity, I simply can not do this without you.

As I face several weeks of recovery and will be unable to work, I will be faced with figuring out how to keep from losing everything I have worked so hard for.

My ability to pay the bills, keep a roof over my family’s head and food on the table, not to mention mountain of medical costs that goes without saying.

So I would like to first, ask that you keep me and my family in your prayers, and secondly, would like to ask, if you can find it in your heart and feel lead to help with a financial donation that will greatly relieve the stress of financial ruin (stress being a contributing factor) to helping me recover from my heart surgery as well as alleviating the stress of facing financial ruin, and according to the DR.’s stress simply can not be in my life anymore if I want to live.

I would like to thank everyone for the Prayers and financial support during this time of need and I'm very glad to have so many friend and family that care about me ! Life is short and I would like to tell you all that I care and love you all !!!!

Love

Richard Jackson
