WELL HERE GOES. I'M A DISABLED ARMY VETERAN WITH 9 YEARS IN THE SERVICE. MY HEALTH HAS REALLY BEEN GOING DOWN HILL THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. I HAD A TRIPLE BY-PASS IN 2000 WITH FIVE HEART ATTACKS BEFORE THE BY-PASS. SINCE THE BY-PASS I CURRENTLY HAVE A 50% BLOCKAGE IN FRONT OF A 95% BLOCKAGE THAT CAN NOT BE OPERATED ON. THIS IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY HEART. I HAVE THREE BLOCKAGES ON THE RIGHT SIDE THAT THE DOCTOR WILL NOT TELL ME HOW BAD THEY ARE BLOCKED. I HAVE HAD BACK PROBLEMS FOR ALMOST 18 YEARS WHICH I HURT IN THE ARMY AND NOTHING HAS REALLY BEEN DONE FOR IT IN THE 17 YEARS. WELL I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT I HAVE ONE HERNATED DISC WITH FIVE MORE BULGING. THE DOCTORS TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. IF FACT I JUST HAD A DOCTOR TELL ME THAT THE WHOLE PROBLEM IS SOMEWHERE IN MY NECK OR WITH THE BLOOD CIRCULATION. MY CARDAIC DOCTOR AS TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING ELSE HE CAN DO FOR ME MEDICINE WISE. THAT I'M ALREADY TAKING THE LIMIT ON WHAT HE CAN GIVE ME. THERE IS ALSO TALK OF BUTTING ME IN A WHEELCHAIR BECAUSE I HAVE SUCH I HARD TIME TRYING TO GET AROUND. MY POOR FAMILY IS REALLY HAVING IT BAD. MY WIFE REALLY WORKS HARD TO KEEP THINGS GOING BUT THE STRUGGLE HAS STARTED TO BECOME A LOSING BATTLE. WE HAVE UNTIL THE END OF JUNE TO HAVE PAPERS IN THE WORKS FOR THE HOUSE WE ARE LIVING IN NOW OR WE WILL BE HOMELESS WITH NO WHERE TO GO. THAT REALLY MAKES IT HARD ON OUR TWO SONS (11 AND 6). ONE JUST HAD A BIRTHDAY AND THE OTHER HAS ONE COMING UP SOON. THINGS ARE SO BAD FOR US WE CAN NOT EVEN GET THEM ANYTHING FOR THIER BIRTHDAYS. THAT REALLY BREAKS MY HEART. THEY ALSO DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MOM AND DAD CAN NOT GIVE THEM THE THINGS THAT THEY WANT. ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE I HAVE WRONG I SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION REALLY BAD. HERE LATELY IT HAS BEEN REAL HARD TO NOT JUST GIVE IN AND GET IT OVER WITH. BUT I WORRY ABOUT MY FAMILY.
ANY HELP WE COULD GET WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. GRANTS, DONATATIONS WHAT EVER. JUST SOMETHING TO GET MY FAMILY BACK ON THE ROAD.
