Bilateral Amputee needs your help.

Hello, my name is Wes and I am in a terrible situation.

In the summer of 2021, I experienced a foot injury that led to a rapid-moving infection that resulted in the loss of half of my right foot. The resulting surgeries caused me to have a long (8-month) recovery period, and as a consequence of being unable to walk correctly, and the nature of the infection, I lost my job.

Being out of work from December 2021 until July 2022, wrought havoc on my savings as I was also denied unemployment insurance from the state. In September of 2022, I had another bout of illness that resulted in another infection causing the amputation of half of my left foot.

The recovery process has been long and difficult, resulting in my losing my job again in January of this year.

During that time, I have been unable to find employment in my field, and physically unable to work in other fields that I have experience in. My immune system has been compromised from further surgeries, being on constant antibiotics for weeks at a time, and even some organ failure.

As a bilateral amputee, I have had to learn how to walk again, use special prosthetic shoes, and undergo frequent changes to medications. I have been through sleepless nights, and have dealt with the loss of confidence and self-image. This situation has cost me physically, financially, and mentally as I have experienced swings of depression, and lost out on some personal relationships as well.

My expenses have destroyed my finances, and I am in desperate need of your help to keep a roof over my head and to keep my medical bills and rent up to current so that I can hopefully be back in the workforce soon, my prospects are looking better, but I am a long way off from being where I need to be.

I do not have really anyone else to help me out of this situation, as I do not have anyone close to me in my family that can help, and my friends have only been able to do so much.
