Hello and thank you in advance for even reading this. My name is Scott and my loving partner in life is Danielle. I have recently lost my job due to my health and being in and out of the hospital. I have a rare disorder called Carotidynia, which is an extreme swelling and pain of the Carotid artery, and my artery has also bisected, meaning the inside wall seperated and basically causes a weak spot and could blowout at anytime. On top of that, I have severe hypertension, stage 3 or sometimes even critical levels. So all of the above does not allow me to work at this time indefinitely and has affected my lifestyle terribly. My legs have been swollen and I can barely walk most days. The doctors cannot find a definite cause for all this as of yet. Anyways, according to the doctor yesterday, he cant put me as permanently disabled until they figure out why all this is happening.
Danielle has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and has neuropathy in her legs. Both of these combine to make her unable to work for the last few years and probably for the rest of her life. She has her up and down moments, but it generally affects her everyday. She also battles migraines multiple days a month.
Christian, our 15 yr old, has been battling bouts of all sorts of cancer and health issues since he was 10 months old. We are regularly bringing him to doctors for one reason or another.
We are unable to keep up on our bills and are many months behind on our rent and other bills. We want to keep a steady home for our 4 kids.
We are humbly gracious for any help tha you can give and even if you can't, please pray for us. Asking for help this way is the hardest thing I ever had to do, but Im out of options at this point. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
