Hi Everybody.  

This is an incredibly humbling experience for me.  I’ve been an unrelenting in my life to be a very independent Man.  Always striving to never be a burden on any of my fellow humans.  Always helping them and never accepting help.  
At only 47yo, I’m now faced with the very real notion that I have no choice but to become the burden I’ve always strived to never be.  

My kidneys took a shit on me on 04/08/2025.  As a result I’m facing physical disability and brain damage (cognitive and motor function issues).  I’m unable to work and support myself and those I love.  

If you’re a friend, member of the hardcore community who knows me, or anyone who would be interested in helping me, I’d be forever grateful and you have the power to help change a life.  

Thanks for reading and considering me but even more thanks for being someone I got to spend part of this short life meeting and getting to know.  It’s been amazing being a member of Hardcore.
