Hello,

My name is Eric Danielson. Today, I'm asking the world for HELP.

Last year on 8/15, I was completely lost to everyone and everything. With nowhere and no one to turn to, I decided to shoot myself with a 30.06...

Unexplainably, I lived through every second of what came after! I walked around for roughly 40 minutes, experienced moments hard to put into words, and died two times: once instantly and the second slowly, all before being put on a helicopter to the hospital.

Where doctors and OMFS saved my life and entire face. My jaw shattered in 4 places, the rest of my nose and cheeks, over 37 bones wired back into one face.

Spent the next 7 weeks in the hospital going through the almost nightmare that was just the beginning of my recovery. I am still quite damaged as I have no palate left in my mouth and only half a tongue left! I cannot afford more expensive surgery, much less the over $70,000 helicopter ride.

This all happened for so many reasons all at once. I lost everything from love to my career. I had to leave so much behind because of people being small, petty, and self-centered as I gave myself and body to the same industry without acknowledgment of my dedication. It was instead used as a weapon to force me to quit a job I loved. It's a lot, so I will keep it at this for now.

I'd like to talk to others about feeling the ways I did in the last few weeks before I killed myself. Explain things on maybe a deeper level to people who are going through suffering in their lives and souls like I was. Help someone be the person who wasn't there for me!

Maybe I lived for a reason. Maybe we all do...

I'm trying everything to restart my life and am fighting every day.

Donations will go towards Surgery and Medical Bills an Obturator alone is 4000$

Im also trying to rebuild my life in a meaningful way so I can help others

Any help is beyond appreciated!

Thank you for listening.
