Donation protected
Aloha everyone. Many of you have been following my life and journey these past few years. For those who have not, let le share as briefly as I can what's been happening and why I'm begging for help right now. Over a yr ago I was let go from my job. It started there and only has gone downhill. A small cut on my tow festered until it was engulfed in gangrene and so my big toe and toe right next to it was amputated. The infection I got wouldn't leave my body so after about 2 months, I had to go back into the hospital where I had developed a blood infection and was taken away from my house for 6 weeks to have IV antibiotics given to me. They were terrified the antibiotics would not kick the infection and death was a constant fear until I was released...but the worse wasn't over...God doesn't give you more then you cam handle...but man...he fornsure tests the faith. I fell down the stairs and broke my back. I had to have emergency surgery, rods placed in my back, and then spent almost 6 months in a rehab long term hospital where I had to relearn to walk. I had to relearn to walk. Me- who played volleyball, football amd basketball my life growing up...me, who has the ocean in his heart and soul and could swim for hours. I had to relearn to walk. The doctor said that any progress made within a year is as much progress that will be made. I made progress where I can walk with a walker, use a can very unsteady, or walk very very short spans with nothing but fall quite often because my balance is off. There are so many things I can no longer do on my own or without help. It's horrible to have to ask for help for so many things I use to be able to do on my own. Im.independent.ive worked my entire life, I love being outside....I now need so much help just to walk down stairs...to cook food, to get dressed.... so while this was happening, with no income coming in,our house went into forclosure. We are behind by more then a yr in payments. I claiming bankruptcy was the only way to save the house, which happened the day before the auction sale, so we know it was a miracle from God doing that...but there is absolutely no income coming in. Ssi, disability and disability services can take over a year to get approved from the time you submit your application. So I still have absolutely no income, no services, nothing. I've depending on friends and family to survive while the bills pile up, the house falls apart, I fall apart. I've lived a life trying g so hard to never ask for much, never ask for help or money bc I always could make it, I always could figure out a way to keep going. But now, I'm officially screwed. I truly am having to beg, ask, irritate, bother, and figure out how to make nothing last. I do get foodstuffs, but that's it and it's a little. Im so grateful to everyone who has been helping me survive for this long. I'm so thankful for those who just were there for me without needing to be asked. I just... I'm hoping, I'm begging, and im praying to God that maybe this Go Gund me will be able to reach more people who can and will be able to help. Some expressed desire to donate thru Go Fund Me so hopefully more will feel comfortable donating this way. Thank you for reading my story and listening and possibly helping if can.
