Hi, I'm Bill Kowalski, Cocoa High class of '79.

7 months ago, I had to go into emergency surgery for MRSA on my spine. I assumed that I would be back to work in about 3 months. As it just so happened, I ended up getting another abscess on a psoas muscle in December. Things started going downhill, and I ended up with another procedure in February, but it did not work. I have now since had a third surgery at the end of March, which I am still dealing with at this time.

I have been out of work for 7 months and thought at this point I would have been back to work for three plus months. I have filed for social security, but I'm not sure exactly when that will start for me. I have gone through all my savings and just need some help getting through the next few months till I am hopefully back to work and social security has kicked in.

If you are able to help me with this situation, it would be greatly appreciated, but if not, I understand and prayers would be appreciated. Thank you for your support.
