Sarcoidosis battle

Donation protected
Hello my name is Jimmy.  On April 28, 2018 I was hospitalized for a week and almost died. I suffered from Ketoacidosis. I have a medical condition by the name of Gastroparesis which resulted in higher blood sugars that triggered Ketoacidosis. After recovering from Ketoacidosis, I became weak and lost my ability to walk. I was then readmitted into the hospital for medical testing. The hospital staff doctors and specialists took a few weeks but struggled to diagnose my condition. I had an hour and a half MRI, multiple CAT scans, X-rays, liver and lung biopsies, and blood tests. 
         The MRI revealed a spinal condition by the name of Spinal Stenosis. Also revealed was a fracture and a bulging disk. I now have to wear a back brace. I will eventually need back surgery. My  liver and lung biopsies revealed an auto immune disease by the name of Sarcoidosis. I am seeking medical treatment as we speak, but due to my poor  health condition I can no longer work. I am seeking funds to offset my current hospital bills which are currently over $100,000. Funds will also support me and my daughter's on going bills, such as car, car insurance, and normal monthly expenses. I have been hospitalized nine times within the past year for months at a time and will need future treatments for  Sarcoidosis, Spinal Stenosis, and Gastroparesis. I would appreciate any donations. I desperately need your help. $1, $5, $10, any amount helps and adds up. God bless you all for your donations. Please share this with whomever you can. I really appreciate it. Thanks. 

Recently I was denied Medicaid and in addition to my mounting medical bills I am having to seek treatment for Sarcoidosis, spinal stenosis, and diabetes type I for insulin and doctor visits. Not a good outlook for me. 

Sincerely,

Jimmy Black
