Hello,

My name is Ryan. My family is going through a rough time. I have been in the hospital and have Dr. Appointments all the time.

The first big problems started with a brain bleed and seizures on 7/4/23. On the 5th i went into surgery for the brain bleed.I was in the hospital for about 10 days, and was down for over a month. I was in and out of the Dr office and hospital visits. I started physical therapy twice a week until the insurance stopped letting me go. I have not worked full time since the 4th of July. In January was dropped to 9 hours a week. After that I started selling everything I own. A Smoker,2 cars,all my silver and gold, prospecting equipment, metal detector, tools, one small toll cabinet and a large wood top tool chest , and lots of small things. I also need help with my van. I think it is on its last leg. I have done 3 shift packs, all the basic stuff like altonators, starters, plugs wires, belts. It also has something going on in the front end. It pulls to the right, has a sound from the right front. I have not been able to look at it. I am also in need of a cheap comuter car for my oldest. She wants to get a job and help driving the family around to school stuf, dr apts and what ever is needed.

Then I went to the dr and was diagnosed with bronchitis. Then in a few days I was in the er getting my lung drained of fluid. Over the next few weeks I had 3 more er visits to drain my lung. On the 5th time they drained my lung they decided to get fluid from out side the lung and was keeping me over night. Over the next 24 hours some time I coded and was rushed to the ecu. My lung collapsed and was dieing. They even called my wife to rush up a say good by. I don't remember the next 2 days. Was in the hospital for 23 days. I have been mostly stuck in bed. My wife has been looking for a job. But all of this has happened. She has been lucky and has been a stay at home mom for our 2 kids and now me also. She is looking for stay at home jobs. But they all look like scams. If you know anything about work fron home jobs please let us know. I am a 3 year beginner in leather work now that i dont shake as much i can get back to it. I have given away most of my work.

I filed for unemployment back is September but no decision yet.

And now the bad news. I will be heading to Denver on June 10th and 11th to start all the testing for a liver transplant. I will also be checked to see if I qualify for

A tips proved during procedure. This should give me 2 to 4 more years . I do not know anything until this is done.

Yes I am asking for money to help with bills. But I am asking for any help with canned food because of the date,

The dates don't bother me. Stuff you would normally take to goodwill, throw away, or just cleaning out. I am on a very restricted diet. I found one of the bullet blenders it's OK but it's missing parts. I also found probably the cheapest juicer in the world. It probably costs more in the produce section them just by a bottle. Then I cook normal for the family.

I am a open book. I will tell everyone what is going on. I have $200 in my bank account. My monthly bills are about $1300 a month. I am past due on all of them I also owe $5000 from a family lone to not get evicted.

I do get food stamps that covers half the. Month. I also get tanif that pays half the rent. I have been trying to get leap to help with bills, I keep getting the push around just like disability. I also go to the food bank twice a week.

I think I am done for now. It's late and I have been writing and rewriting these foor a week. This is so hard to post I don't know what else to do. My family, friends and doctors have persuaded my to do this until I am back on my feet.

Thank you for the time it took to read this.

Ryan
