Last Chance Justice for David Miller, Disabled Man
Donation protected
Hello.
My name is David Miller and 9 years ago, at the age of 41, my life changed forever. I seriously hurt my back and required emergency surgery. The next morning at 6am I was in the operating room and underwent an extensive and very long back surgery. Some issues were resolved, but unfortunately, the doctors informed me that I would be permanently disabled, have unbelievable pain 24/7, and would never work again. All of my, so-called friends, or at least 99% of them, deserted me. I only had 2 friends that actually stood by me from the beginning, and I love and will always cherish them for sticking by me. I have since had 4 surgeries on my back. I had worked in mental health, working with children and adolescents for 21 years. I felt like my life was over. I had put myself through college and Grad school and devoted my entire life to helping others, just to see it vanish in one day. I had finally gotten to a place in my life where I could financially help my family and others, just to see it gone. I sank into a horrible depression, but I was able to see my way through it. I received my SSDI and had a small nest egg put away. I wasn't rich by no standards, but I would be able to survive. I had no credit card debt and was living well below my means, but somewhat of a recluse because most of my so-called friends deserted me. Sounds great, but that brings me up to the present.
Approximately 2 1/2 years ago, I made the decision that I was going to build a house that was more suitable for my disability needs and was in the process of raising the final amount of money that was needed to begin the project. I sought legal advice in regards to raising the monies needed. The plan was to lend money from my nest egg to a couple of women and their company, to be repaid within 95 days. Unfortunately, the women took advantage of me and literally ended up stealing the great majority of the money that I had worked and saved my entire life. I contacted the authorities, and it is currently being looked into, but in the meantime, I have had to use all of the remaining money that I had left, fighting a legal battle for the last 2+ years, trying to recoup the money that they stole from me. I am now at a point that I have no money left, an currently surviving on credit cards, selling what belongings I have left, and have sunk into a severe depression that I can't get out of. Before, at least I had a financial safety net, to help me through, but they have literally taken everything from me. Everything that I worked for my entire life, and now I have been holed up for the last 5 months because of the Covid pandemic. If that is not bad enough, I have received 2 additional medical diagnosis in the last 2 years that are considered chronic and terminal. My goal that I am seeking doesn't even come close to what has been stolen from me, but I am not looking to get rich. I just want to survive. The house that I am currently living in is a double wide manufactured home that it under a lot of construction. Not because it is new, it is almost 35 years old and I have been trying to just make it habitable. Unfortunately , there is no money left to finish anything.
I know that my story is not dissimilar to anyone else's story, but I don't know what else to do. I feel so alone and defeated. I am a victim and it seems that the only way that I can fight for my rights, is through the legal system which costs more money. Money that I don't have anymore. A person recommended that I try to set up a GoFundMe account and see if the kindness of others would help. I have never begged for anything in my entire life, but I am so defeated and currently have no other way out. These two ladies have already wiped out my entire life savings, and appear to be getting away with it, thus far. So I am making a last plea for Justice to the community for assistance. I really need your help. If you decide not to donate financially, please at least donate empathetically, and please pass this on to anyone that you can think of. Because I have been a recluse and a hermit for the last 9 years, I never got into social media because I was all alone. So I don't know really what I am doing. So I am asking, not begging, for your help. If I don't raise the money, it is ok. I will just have to put it in God's hands and pray that he allows it to end soon.
I know this is kinda long, but I just wanted to give the basic facts. Thank you for your assistance in this matter and may God bless.
