Kyle Needs Your Help

Hey everyone. This has taken me days to write all this out. This has been really hard for me because I am not the kind of person who likes to ask for help. I have been absent for a while and more distant than usual because of the things I have going on in my life & I am sorry for this. I am writing this out in a timeline because it will be easier to sort through.

 

Timeline:

 

In 2019 I was injured in a bridge fall. My pelvis was wounded but has more or less healed. In the fall, my back and neck, too, but unfortunately, didn’t receive the needed attention. I ended up returning to work too quickly. You were all so kind to donate to a GoFundMe back than to help support my recovery.

 

In 2020 I had back and neck issues at work; I kept going to work anyways despite the problems.

 

In May of 2021, I started having debilitating headaches every day. They lasted a few hours each, making it very difficult to work. The neck pain and the numbness began to increase and have continued to grow.

 

I stopped working at the end of May after I had used all my vacation time and sick time.

 

In December 2021, I sold my truck to help me get by.

 

I have not been paid medical leave yet from my old Employer’s Insurance Company. I am still being denied payment even though the claim is valid & all my doctors filed all the correct paperwork.

 

In June of 2021, these issues that had been occurring were starting to get investigated. Although there were no tumors, I received my first Brain MRI (YAY!) I still didn’t have any answers.

 

I started going to Physical Therapy twice a week over the next four months and received daily at-home exercises.

 

I then had a CT Scan, X-rays x2, Spinal MRI, a neck Ultrasound & a Neck MRI (January 2022).

 

The Neck MRI revealed multiple problems! Surgery may be possible.

 

In January of this year, I became eligible for Food Stamps and State-Sponsored Insurance. I can now afford to go to the doctor again!

 

In April, I will be meeting with a Neurosurgeon and a Neurologist. I am going to be starting Physical Therapy again too.

 

All of this has made me very distant, lonely, feeling very depressed and worn down. I have been feeling beaten, but I know I am not broken.

 

I created this GoFundMe because I need help with rent and bills. I love you all & am incredibly grateful for all of the friends that have already helped me these last few months.

 

I will likely go on SSI while I conquer these medical issues, but that process is very long and will probably take months, if not longer, to be approved. I am also hoping to get rent/bill assistance, but my applications are still pending.

 

Because of all of this, I need help.

 

Also, if there are any insurance pros that could help me work through this paperwork battle, I would appreciate it, and hopefully, we could see them pay me out for all the time they should have.

 

Again, I cannot say enough how much I appreciate you all in my life & I am sorry if I have been distant & neglected our friendships. If anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to message me on Facebook.

 

Thank you!
