THE FIGHT FOR MY LIFE!

Hi, my name is Samuel Thomas and I'm raising money for my current health condition. I guess I should start of by explaining what has caused me to ask for help and why I’m in such desperate need for a helping hand.

Around 5 months ago I went to bed and I remember waking up to an excruciating headache, I got out of bed and tried walking to the kitchen to get a glass of water when I suddenly blacked out and hit the floor.

When I woke up I had no idea what had happened but the person I was living with at the time found me having a seizure on the floor and stayed with me until it had passed. Around 20 minutes later I started to feel strange again and had another seizure but this time it lasted over 25 minutes which lead to an ambulance being called and me being taken to hospital.

I was scared as I was fighting for my life but no one seemed to care or want to help me. I was never placed on a EEG machine or given enough oxygen and due to this I suffered brain damage.

The doctor told me I was fine and to go home, I was never given a medical explanation to what had happened and discharged without a medical report. Still to this day I have not been able to obtain a copy of my discharge summary which is one of the many requirements for disability payments.

I returned home and by now I was so physically exhausted that I was bed ridden for months, unable to work, drive and even having severe problems with sleep and being able to rest.

After visiting a doctor I required a physical assessment and begun explaining my symptoms. He instantly knew something was terribly wrong so he wrote me a referral to get a MRI.

The following day I went and got my first MRI scan done and the results showed 4 large cysts in my brain which have increased in size from 9mm to 12mm after my second MRI.

I suffered from Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) which means the brain doesn't receive enough oxygen or blood flow to the brain for a period of time. This has resulted in causing extensive damage to my brain and has shown early signs of Parkinson Disease.

After receiving a blood test it came back positive for Hodgkin's Lymphoma which in my case is called “CNS Lymphoma” but until I can get a biopsy which is quite a complex and dangerous surgery they can’t confidently say whether I have brain cancer or not which is another whole fight again.

Due to having seizures I can no longer work or afford to pay the rent on my apartment which has caused me to lose everything that I had worked so hard for.

Due to pressure of the 4 cysts in my brain I’m no longer able to work and I suffer horrible tremors and seizures making it nearly impossible to hold a camera anymore which is my profession, let alone being able to even work to generate an income to get by.

Photography has been a true passion of mine since I was a young kid, it’s been my escape and my therapy for when I’m having a bad day due to the stresses of life we all experience.

I've recieved no help from the goverment for there treatment at the hospital or any compensation due to the damages that has be caused by the mandatory vaccinations.

I've lost everything and I’m now fighting the hardest battle of my life. I never ask for help because I’ve always been very independent and I don’t know how to ask for help but this is my last hope.

As each day passes I'm becoming more forgetful to the point where I’m forgetting what I did the previous day and suffering even more severe seizures.

This is my last hope to get the professional help I need to potentially save my life.

If you could find it in your heart to make even just a small donation it will help me with my on going medical bills and help me get the desperate help I need.

I really appreciate all the support ❤️
