I'm not sure how I feel about doing this for myself... Obviously, you're reading this, so I decided to go for it... But as of putting this together, I'm conflicted. Bottom line wins though, I'm broke and need help. It can't hurt to try, right? Here it goes.

I have very recently had to go to the hospital for what turned out to be a blockage of my intestines. Not very fun. Extremely painful and I've been off work for 3 weeks and counting so far. If you know me, you know I bartend and serve. Which in English means, if I don't work, I don't get paid.

I had access to medical coverage, but last year they decided that I made too much money and canceled my coverage. I appealed and was told until my appeal was heard, I was still covered. 11 months later, I got an appeal date. The 21st of January. Last week. I was in surgery most of that day. Pretty sure I lost my appeal!

So, to keep you updated: broke from no work, can't work for the foreseeable future... No coverage...

Here is the curveball in my story, I'm not here asking for help with my bills (would not turn it down).

I'm here because of my friend Whitney. She introduced me to stem cells and made me familiar with what they do. As soon as I heard, I told her if I had the money, I'd have it done tomorrow.

Stem cells fix things. Things you didn't even know are wrong and especially the things you know about. I've seen it firsthand. And part of my plan is to explain the entire process and my progress from day one if I can raise the money for a dose.

I knew nothing a year ago. I still don't know a lot. I have, however, seen their effects and I'm amazed.

So if you want to find out more, help me help you. I'll update you daily. Send me questions, I'll get answers. In the world of medical coverage, these are actually very economical for what they claim to do.

So after discussing it with Whitney, we are estimating $6500 for my dose. I will speak with specialists first who would tell me exactly how much I need. I can get 1 dose for $3500 and I've seen that dose change people's lives.

So if you are feeling generous and want to help, or want to learn, or if you actually like me as a person and you can afford it, I could use the help.
