When it rains ... still need help.

Immediate needs: Tax payment ($80), car payment ($500), car insurance ($120), cellphone bill ($65).

SPRING UPDATE:

*I've applied for disability but that process is extremely slow and stressful so I've to keep looking for jobs to prove to myself that I CAN still work if given the opportunity.

*Therapy has helped to open my lungs but I'm still on oxygen 24/7 with no talk of being released.

*For sanity, I've started to slowly get back into playing keys and singing at church, but the ultimate goal is to get back on the trombone.

If you would prefer to help using another method, please let me know. PayPal, Venmo, in-person are options.

MY STORY:

My name is Andy and I was released from my job in February of '23 due to budget cuts. Thankfully, I was on unemployment for a while, but those funds have been exhausted. It's been so hard job hunting - after applying to SO many companies for anything I felt qualified for (and some I maybe wasn't so qualified for) and only landing 4 interviews since February.

In addition to being unemployed, I was hospitalized for a week in October to monitor heart and lung failure. Since mid-October, I'm on oxygen 24/7 and my doctors have no idea how long of a recovery it will be. 9 medications, lung therapy twice a week, and regular follow up appointments only add to my bills that are due but cannot be paid.

Other things are needing to take priority: car payment, car insurance, etc. Would you PLEASE consider contributing?

Thank you for your time and consideration. I wouldn't be on here asking if things were more within my control.

If you're not able, I'd appreciate prayers of healing and comfort for myself and my family as we manage these changes together. And, if you'd be willing, help share my story with others.

Thank you and God bless!
