Hey guys, my name is Brandon Buckingham, It really pains me to write this, but I feel obligated to only because I have an 11-month old baby who is taken care of by my beautiful stay at home wife whom i provide for.

4 days ago i woke up not knowing where i was completely deaf, my feet were swollen and i was in severe pain. i was rushed to the urgent care and eventually the ICU. I was very disoriented and confused.

The initial diagnosis was acute systolic heart failure, kidney failure, and liver failure, all things brought on by pneumonia and subsequent sepsis or possibly tuberculosis.

The good news is they no longer think I have tuberculosis. The bad news is my heart is still failing, and my lungs, liver and kidneys are all still in very rough shape.

I don't know what's going to happen to me, but I know for sure if I do survive, it will be a very long recovery, and I will not be able to provide for my family for at least several months if things go well. A cardiology specialist informed me that I may be on bedrest anywhere for 2 to 4 months as i recover from this very scary, life threatening illness. I will need help with things like my mortgage, utilities, baby supplies and the over 100k in medical bill debt i have racked up while dealing with this nightmare. I also will likely need to be on heart medication the rest of my life.

I've never asked for help before, but my heart is currently only working at 15-20%, so if anyone out there cares, please consider donating to my gofundme to help me provide until i am able to work again. As well as help pay off the over 100k dollars of medical debts i have racked up.

And if you aren’t able to donate, please consider supporting by watching my videos as I won’t be able to upload new ones for a while.

Thank you all for your love and prayers, this has been the scariest time in my life and all your support has meant the world to me.
