Since last October I have been losing my ability to walk. Most of you know I’ve been undergoing a lot of medical things lately. I have MS which I’ve had for almost 30 years. While they still haven’t figured out what’s wrong with me now they are trying to help me with some of the things that will make my life easier. It started out as just difficulty walking up a curb to now not being able to walk unassisted, not being able to do steps at all, my body collapsing completely frequently and overall using my legs at all is now unsafe. My arms are following suit now. I now have a hospital bed to raise me because I cannot get up from anything regular height. I had to get an indoor stairlift for my stairs. I had to order an outdoor motorized stairlift that I can take places so if I needed to do steps I would be able. I need grab bars in both bathrooms and at the top of my steps. I need raised toilet seats in both bathrooms and a shower chair in my bathroom. I have a regular walker and two rollator style walkers because one has a basket which helps me to be able to carry things because I can’t carry anything. I also am waiting on a custom motorized wheelchair that UMMC rehab and orthopedic center has ordered for me. For all of these various medical devices I need it will be around $5,000 for the part I have to pay but there are more things that I need as well. I really went back and forth on doing a go fund me and realized I just needed to try to get help as best as possible. I am on a very fixed income with SSDI. I have no ability to Make extra money right now because all of my time is spent in therapy of various kinds. My next step with be a plasma infusion which will bring more expenses but I will deal with those expenses when I get to that point. I appreciate anything anyone can do for me. If you’d rather Zelle or Apple Pay here are those, Zelle is [email redacted] and Apple Pay send me a DM and then you’ll be able to send it through there. I thank everyone for everything. A lot of people have reached out with words of comfort and I’ve appreciated it so much. This has been a lot to handle right now especially with my biggest confidant and best friend, my brother Matthew, dying in January. Again, I appreciate everything from everyone even if it’s a prayer or adding me to your prayer circle. ❤️❤️❤️
