<div>Hi – my name is Suzie – I am reaching out because I am in need of assistance and have held on until I cannot do it by myself anymore.


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>In December of 2020, the evening after getting elbow surgery, I was letting out the dogs before bed and somehow lost my balance and tumbled head over foot backwards down the basement stairs and landed on my head. I could not reach out with both arms because my right arm was in a full cast and bent at the elbow (had broken it while walking the dogs and needed pins screws put in to fix the break).


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>We are not sure how long I was on the basement floor but my hair was pulled up and the doctors say that saved my life. I heard the crack and reached up to find blood everywhere. Miraculously, I crawled up the stairs and was able to call my neighbor who took me to the hospital and called my youngest son to meet us there.


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>While I thought I just needed stitches, I was rushed in and they immediately put in 12 staples – very painful – but I thought I was going home.


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>The doctor came in and said that I was going to ICU as I had a brain bleed. The following day, they did a repeat CT Scan – and it showed another brain bleed and a growing subdural hematoma on the frontal lobe. So – back to ICU I went. This went on a few more days with yet another brain bleed.  In addition, I had bruised ribs with one fracture.


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>After a few weeks, the Neurosurgeon finally agreed that I could go home IF my son agreed to stay with me – and while I was getting in-home care, physical therapy and such.


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>About a week after I was home, I developed severe vertigo to the point my son had to hold me in bed until the spinning stopped when I was going to sleep. I then woke up one day – and I was stuttering – badly! And as I tried to navigate out to the living room, I started veering to the left and running into walls.


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>I saw the Neurologist, a Neuropsychologist and a Vestibular therapist.  During this visit is when I learned that while I did have a concussion, I had suffered a much more serious Traumatic Brain Injury.


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>I went through months of therapy to learn to talk and walk again as I had to use a walker or cane to steady myself. I could not think very well at all – AND at this point, my son and his girlfriend had to put up signs on the wall with directions – such as which direction was “right” and which was “left” and even items like not the “plop” while sitting down because if I did and was not slow and steady, I would lose my balance and/or create vertigo again.


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>My vision has changed 3 times, necessitating eye exams, new prescriptions and visits with an ophthalmologist to ensure nothing else was happening behind my eyes. 


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>I could no longer work in my industry at that point – and then COVID threat expanded. Driving with vision issues and continued vertigo poses challenges.


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>While I did file for Social Security Disability with the help of friends, it has been over 2 years and is still pending.


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>After my talking got more normal during this time, I tried to work. I got a remote position in my industry in a role that I had worked in for many years – yet, it did not work out after a few months. It was too intensive and required more activity than I could handle.


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>I have now had 3 Contract jobs in my industry with the same outcome – they did not work out – and now I have run out of all money. I had to deplete my 401K simply to live.


</div>


<div><br />
</div>

<div>I have ongoing medical expenses and am putting off needed appointments and minor surgery because I cannot pay.

</div>

<div><br />
</div>


<div>Now, I literally have no money and nowhere to go. I have been going from Airbnb to Airbnb but now I have absolutely nothing and have to leave here by the end of this week with nowhere to go and no money even to rent a short-term place.


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>My bank is overdrawn, and I am maxed out on credit and behind on payments.


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>I am still trying for Disability, but in the meantime, I need some help. I keep trying every, single day, praying everything will be okay.


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>This is humbling to be at this point and to have to ask, but please, if you can help in any way, even to just share this post, it would mean the world to me! God Bless you!


</div>


<div><br />
</div>


<div>Much love and prayers to all,


</div>


<div><br />

<br />Donna Davis Russell received her complete healing from COVID in Heaven. We wanted her healed on this side of Heaven, but God chose to take her home. Please keep her husband and family in your prayers in the days ahead. Donna was an extraordinarily generous and self-sacrificing Christian woman. This is our opportunity to honor her memory.<br /> <br />In lieu of flowers and to help with medical and funeral expenses, the family asks that you donate as God leads you. <br /> <br />God called Donna to her heavenly home for her perfection and for His glory.<br />Donate

Donna Davis Russell - Memorial Fundraiser

<strong>Jacob's House - a child safety app<br /><br />Hello,  my name is Sharika Soal and I am in the process of creating an app that is designed to dial 911 with a pre recorded message for individuals who are in situations where talking to a dispatcher is not safe or possible <br /><br />The app is called Jacobs house and is dedicated to my son who was in a situation where the adults around him illegally kept him from being able to report he had been sexually assaulted.  When my child told me this it stuck with me and so I want to give back what I could not provide and will always regret and that is a lifeline and a voice <br /><br />The app will be designed as a normal social media app and the demographic is for teens and poor communities. It will work with Wifi so no phone service is necessary. The purpose and main function of the app is upon registering with the app the human makes a pre-recorded message that is stored on a server. The human will state their name age and address and school and that they are not safe and need to be checked on. This technology will greatly reduce teens being trafficked without a trace as the app will work with Geo-Tagging and record location of the owner even after being thrown away and the recorded message will always be the first point of evidence.  <br /><br />911 is alerted and hears the recorded message on a loop so that it will cut down on hours of not realizing the child or human was in danger. Any donation would be greatly appreciated as I have secured an able and highly skilled web developer<br /><br /></strong><br /><br />Costs For Android App<br /><br />● The android app and server setup will cost USD 2500 as a one time development cost.<br />● Android ecosystem is vast and so many different devices come with very different<br />android implementations and updates which forces significant time that needs to be put<br />into testing and maintenance of android apps. Servers also need regular updates and<br />maintenance. So I expect 10 hours of maintenance at USD 20 per hour per month once<br />the app is published to the store. That is USD 200 per month.<br />● Servers need to be leased at a per month cost that varies on amount of usage but there<br />needs to be minimal cost to deliver decent quality to even 1 user. The expected cost is<br />about USD 50 per month.
