DeSoto Shooting Victim In Need Of Help

Donation protected




Howdy, I'm actually really embarrassed to ask anyone for help in an emergency situation like this, but, I'll give it to God and to the people who see this, while I pray and look forward to a better tomorrow. I'm Brian and I was shot in my left arm (sounds like the beginning of an AA announcement lol) by my now ex-fiance.. I got lucky because I put my arm in front of my face at the last second and I'm beyond thankful you're reading this instead of an obituary.. She was suffering a mental health crisis that I couldn't get her help for because "believing she is Jesus Christ reincarnated and hears God in her head" "isn't a harm to herself or others". I tried my best to find help and in the end I had to get shot for help to finally come. I don't know what else to do or who I can turn to.. I've been through 3 surgeries, 2 blood infusions and an excruciating amount of pain so far and there are still a few more surgeries to come. Bills keep coming and now I have many more on the way that will suffocate me financially, especially now that I'm unable to work for God knows how long. This is me begging the world to please help me make it through this crazy situation so that I can keep kickin with my big ol smile on my face. Love, kindness, graciousness and happiness are what make this life worth living and I'm so thankful that I'll get to experience more of those gifts with many of you again. Thank you all, please know that you're always loved, appreciated and you're always the light of somebody's day whether you know it or not. Love you all and thank you for your kindness and support. I'll definitely do my best to keep everybody up to date on the progress of the situation.
