3. Ocular Histoplasmosis - I have blindness in both eyes from mutated/bleeding sub retinal blood vessels. I am treated at The Retina Specialist of North Alabama in Florence by Dr. Scott Dorin. I have had 42 (Avastin) injections in my eyes to keep my vision. Avastin is a 1:500th dose of chemotherapy normally used in the treatment of cancer. This is a degenerative eye disease which has caused all central vision loss in my left eye and partial central vision loss in my right eye.

5. Major depressive disorder

6. Generalized Anxiety Disorder

7. Obsessive Compulsive Behavior

8. Insomnia

I am treated by Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH) of Muscle Shoals by Mallory Avant and Dr. Timothy Whalen for 4-8

I was literally abandoned after I closed Shoals Game Room.

My wife had the only income and left the marital home March 13th of 2025. We are going through a divorce.

I do not have health insurance. I was denied coverage on Healthcare.gov. I also have no income other than the support from my family, friends and community.

My mortgage is In jeopardy of foreclosure, I was approved for loss mitigation (forbearance) through December 1st 2025. I now have until Mar 01 2026 before the bank can forecloses on my home. I am responsible for paying utility bills, car insurance, gas, medical bills, and medicines.

I have applied for patient assistance at Clearview Cancer Center and I was approved for 100% with a $0 co-pay. I am self pay at the Retina Specialist of North Alabama to monitor and treat the retinal vessel mutation, bleeding and loss of vision. I am also self pay at my mental health provider, IBH of Muscle Shoals.

I have officially been deemed unable to work due to my health conditions by IBH. I am unemployed and have been denied Social Security Disability many times since in spite of everything I am going through. The last denial was a few months ago and yes I do have an attorney. I am proud to say that Congressman Mr. Robert Aderholt is now aware of my disability case.

I have caseworkers with the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind in Tuscumbia (AIDB), Easter Seals in Muscle Shoals, and the North Alabama Rehabilitation Center in Muscle Shoals.

With all of the conditions I have, I can't be a liability to an employer or myself. I have two daughters, one of which is living with me part time. I have always worked and went above and beyond to provide for my family.

I humbly ask you to pray about making a donation. Please share this with your church family, your social media, and please keep my family in your prayers. The donations will be used wisely for all necessary living expenses during this ongoing battle.

Jesus said whatever you have done to the least of these my brethren you have done unto me.

God has truly blessed me and given me strength to overcome during this, the hardest time of my life.

In Jesus Name,

Josey Trawick
