Timothy Ketcham Medical Recovery

Back in February I spent 23 days in the hospital recovering from pneumonia. During that time I was diagnosed with Interstitial Lung Disease. Basically my lungs are scarred and do not process oxygen properly. I am currently on oxygen 24 hours per day and have to use a walker to walk. I also attend pulmonary rehab twice per week to help with strength. This is an irreversible disease that I will deal with for the rest of my life. I also utilize a service dog that helps with dizzy spells and panic attacks.

Because of this I am not able to work any longer.  My wife and I have been living off of our savings since the sickness began. We have pretty much depleted those funds and are to a point that we need help. Any funds donated will be used to pay our bills, ie. rent, utilities, food, student loans, car loans, etc.. 

I am a veteran and have tried utilizing my resources there without much help. I have also applied for SSI disability but will not get an answer from them til after my next series of pulmonary tests which are at the end of July.

The situation is urgent as we have enough money for about 2 1/2 months. 

Thanks for your help!!
