After my amputation, life has taken a turn I never expected. My insurance has reached its limit, and now I’m facing mounting bills that are more than I can manage. The cost of a prosthetic leg is more than I can afford, and I’m struggling just to keep up with basic needs. I’ve worked hard all my life and built a home in Tucson, but right now, I’m just trying to survive and avoid losing everything I’ve worked for. The thought of ending up on the streets is my biggest fear, and it’s a reality I’m fighting every day. Getting a prosthetic leg would mean so much to me—it would give me back some independence and freedom, and hopefully allow me to find a part-time job so I can start paying down my bills. I’m a positive person and my faith keeps me going, but the stress has been overwhelming. I know there are positive, caring people in Tucson and beyond who might be able to help me get through this tough time. Five years ago, I lost my son and spent seven years working with the Muscular Dystrophy Association, trying to help others and find a cure for neurological diseases. I never thought I’d be the one needing help, but now I’m reaching out to my community. If you can help or share my story, I would be deeply grateful. I know there are good people out there, and I believe God will bless you for your kindness. Thank you for helping me fight for my independence and a better future.

My name is Frank, and this past year has truly tested me in ways I never imagined. After losing my right leg to blood poisoning, I’ve found myself facing not only the physical and emotional challenges of recovery, but also a mountain of medical bills and the urgent need for a prosthetic leg. My insurance has already run out, and being on a fixed income makes it nearly impossible to keep up with these expenses. I’ve always worked hard to support my family and help others in Tucson, but now I find myself needing help just to get by. Having a prosthetic leg would mean everything to me. It would allow me to attend therapy, learn how to balance and walk again, and hopefully regain enough mobility to drive my car and maybe even pick up a part-time job. Right now, I have to rely on others for even the simplest things, like getting to the store or making it to my doctor’s appointments. I want nothing more than to regain my independence, provide for my family, and find a little happiness again. I’m reaching out to the beautiful people of Tucson and beyond, asking for your support. Every donation, no matter the size, brings me closer to walking again and rebuilding my life. Your kindness will help me pay off medical bills, get the prosthetic leg I need, and restore hope for my future. Thank you for considering helping me on this journey. I put my trust in God and in the generosity of this community.
