A Fight for Recovery: From Sepsis to Broken Bones
Hi, my name is Mark Stebbins and I’m reaching out in one of the darkest times of my life. Over the
past year, I have had 3 surgeries 2 emergency room visits 4 urgent care visits .4 months in a facility for my surgery aftercare.I am now receiving home after care for my continued recovery. To put this in a mild way. I hate to admit that
my health has spiraled through one devastating challenge after another, leaving me physically and emotionally drained.
It began with COVID, followed by shingles, which led to cellulitis, and then Sepsis—a life threatening reaction to any infection in the human body
that nearly cost me my legs. After intense hospital care, I faced months of wound treatment and the discovery of blood clots in both legs. Just as I began to see a glimmer of hope, a severe fall shattered my kneecap and clavicle. I crawled on the floor for 4 days with no water or food then finally getting my neighbors dog attention this helped me get rescued and saved my life.My first knee surgery failed, and I endured a second, even more invasive operation to repair the damage.
Now, I am left with mounting medical bills, limited mobility, and the overwhelming task of rebuilding my life.
Why I Need Your Help
I am seeking support to cover:
• Ongoing medical treatments, physical therapy, and medications. All of these treatments are now done at my home with home medical care.
• Medical cleaning supplies and pads for my daily baths as well as my wound treatment. a walker and wheelchair.



• Mental health resources to cope with the trauma
A Small Way to Give Back
As a paralegal, I’d like to offer my skills to those who donate $150 or more. I can prepare essential
legal documents, such as power of attorney forms, healthcare directives, or simple wills, as a
gesture of my gratitude.
Every dollar helps me get closer to recovery and eases the immense burden I’m facing. .
Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and for taking the time to read my story. Your
kindness will make a world of difference as I work toward healing and reclaiming my life. I am improving but I still greatly need your help. Please contribute to help me get my life back.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Mark
