<div>On October 21, 2025 I was rushed to the hospital with severe stomach problems. I had no idea that my organs were shutting down because my heart was so weak. That night, I was flown out by emergency flight and was out for 20 minutes. The doctors didn’t stop trying until they succeeded in bringing me back. I spent 10 days in a coma, and when I woke up, I had to relearn how to speak, walk, and feed myself. It was, and still is, one of the hardest moments of my life. I was diagnosed with stage four heart failure, and my heart was working at only 5%.

<div>After waking up, I found out my kidneys had collapsed and I couldn’t eat or walk—I was basically a vegetable. On November 13, I underwent surgery, but it didn’t go well. I was put into a coma again because they couldn’t close my chest for three days. I spent four months on dialysis, three times a week, which drained everything out of me. I came into the hospital at 207 pounds and left at 151. It’s been nearly three months since I left the hospital, and now I operate on batteries—literally. If it wasn’t for my amazing doctors, the love from my family, and this incredible machine (the LVAD), I wouldn’t have made it.

<div>This is one of the toughest moments of my life. If you know me, you know I have a lot of pride, but right now I have to put it aside. I can’t work and honestly can’t do much for a while. From the bottom of my heart, if you can help me with anything, words can’t describe how much I would appreciate it. I love you all—cherish your life, love your neighbor, and your family. Life is short and can be taken away without warning. Thank you so much for your support.

<div>All my funds are for basics needs. Bills/Debt don’t care how sick you are. They want there money. As a man, being in bed, depending on others to help me and have absolutely NO MONEY, NO INCOME will depress any man. Thats something I’m fighting extremely hard
