Hi my name is Daniel Robinson, I have been a faculty staff at USU for more the ten years. In 2020 I was diagnosed with Covid 19. I spent more than a week in a comma, and after three times coding and almost dieing I woke up in a hospital in Pocatello Idaho. I was paralyzed from head to toe from nerv and brain damage from oxygen loss and dieing and being brought back three times. I had to learn how to talk, eat, use my hands, and walking from square one. It took nine months to get out of a walker. I was left with neuropathy and extrema joint pain from the damage COVID did to my body. I also had a hard time talking and had extremely poor energy. During this time we lost everything, my kids and I became homeless, living from hotels and friends and family. My kids have been through five school in that time. Six months after I was diagnosed with GBS and it started to paralyze me from toes up. I was admitted to the ICU unit in Ogden. After that I was admitted to a long term rehab unit in north Logan for a month learning how to transition to life in a wheelchair chair. The type of GBS I contracted turned out to be very bad. Basically the damage it did to my nerves is permanent. One month after that I was admitted to a ICU unit at McKay-Dee. I lost more feeling in my legs, now being told not to give up but I would no walk on my own ever again and would love my life out in a wheelchair. Sence we lost our home and vehicles we had to move into a RV with three kids, two parents, cat, dog, four snakes. With me being confined to a wheelchair I was trapped in bed in the RV as there was no room for a wheelchair. I will be released soon from NURH, rehab center. With 73,500.00 in new dept. They are garnishing my income 1500.00 every month leaving little to nothing to pay bills with. Our RV place has been very understanding but at some point they will repo our last chance for a home, putting us out on the streets. Our family is asking for help as a last hope to stay together as a family. If we go homeless the government will take our kids and destroy our family. We need help, give what you can. We thank all that has helped us up to this point. We pray for all those COVID survivors out there in similar positions.
