Herschell Michel

My names Herschell Michel and I’m 57 from Chauvin Louisiana. I’m trying this one more time because I honestly don’t know what else to do. I don’t know if I’m not saying things the right way, or if people just don’t see what I’m going through. But this is my reality. Ever since my heart attack, my life has completely changed. I was forced into early retirement, and everything has gone downhill from there. I’ve always been the kind of person who doesn’t ask for help, but I’ve now gone through all of my savings just trying to survive. I live in constant, severe pain every single day. I suffer from angina, arthritis throughout my entire body, degenerative bone disease, and neuropathy in my legs. The neuropathy causes burning, numbness, and weakness, making it even harder to stand or walk. The cushioning between my bones and nerves is gone, and now my bones are pressing directly on my nerves in my lower back and neck. Sitting, standing, walking, or even lying down—it never stops. I’ve tried everything the doctors recommended. Physical therapy didn’t help. Nerve ablation procedures didn’t work. Epidural injections gave no relief. Now they’re talking about spinal fusion surgery as a last option, just hoping it might help. On top of all that, I’m epileptic. The level of pain I’m in is so extreme that it’s triggering more seizures. I’m now having around two seizures a day, and it’s terrifying and exhausting. I’ve gotten to the point where I can barely walk, and I’m struggling just to get through each day. I’m trying to get back on my feet and become self-supporting again, but right now, I truly need help. If you’re able to donate, even a small amount would mean more than I can express, I’m begging for Help please help me . If you can’t, I completely understand—just sharing my story could make a difference. Thank you for taking the time to read this and hear my story. God bless you.

Help Herschell With Epilepsy, Heart Disease & Permanent Mobility Disability My name is Herschell Michel, and I am asking for help during one of the most overwhelming seasons of my life. I have been medically certified as permanently mobility impaired, meaning my condition is lifelong and significant improvement is not expected. My mobility limitations are severe and continue to worsen. I am currently battling multiple serious and life-threatening medical conditions, including: Epilepsy with recurrent seizures Severe muscle and bone pain following seizures Lumbar spinal stenosis Peripheral polyneuropathy Cervical and lumbar radiculopathy Coronary artery disease (CAD) History of an ST-elevation heart attack (STEMI) Aortic aneurysm Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) Hypertension Hyperlipidemia Chronic arthritis Recurrent fainting (syncope) The seizures are physically traumatic and leave me with intense full-body muscle and bone pain that can last for days. My spinal stenosis and nerve damage cause severe lower back pain, leg weakness, numbness, and instability, making walking difficult and unsafe. My heart conditions are especially serious. After suffering a heart attack and living with an aortic aneurysm and irregular heart rhythm, I face constant risk and fatigue. Everyday activities can feel overwhelming, and I must be extremely careful to avoid further complications. Because of my worsening health, I am unable to work, which has created severe financial hardship. I am struggling not only with medical bills but also with basic necessities. Right now, I cannot afford: Food Hygiene and personal care products Household utilities A medically necessary wheelchair A vehicle lift so I can attend medical appointments safely Between ongoing specialist care, testing, medications, and daily living costs, my resources are completely exhausted. Managing epilepsy, heart disease, nerve damage, and chronic pain requires constant medical attention — this is life-sustaining care. I never imagined I would be in a position where I would have to ask for help just to survive day to day. But at this point, I truly cannot do this alone. Any support will go toward: Basic living expenses (food, utilities, hygiene needs) A wheelchair for safe mobility A vehicle lift for transportation to medical care Ongoing medical bills and prescriptions Please consider donating and sharing my story. Every dollar helps so no matter how small the donation thank you . Thank you for taking the time to read my story and stand beside me during this difficult fight. With gratitude, Herschell Michel
