Hello my name is Patrick I am 59 years old, in the last 10 years I have gained 250 excess pounds that have led to a morbid obesity. It has caused a lymphatic edema water retention in my legs and in my body that has reached to my lungs and my heart. This makes it very hard to breathe or to move. I have always been a healthy person, however, with depressions in my life and losses something went wrong along the way. I need a little bit of help to save my life to be here for my family for my wife and my four kids and grandson. I feel terrible for doing this but I have nowhere to reach out for help, my kids told me this might help us with the money. Maybe a little bit of change form everybody just a little bit will help me get the surgery so I can put together the amount needed. I appreciate your help, you may know me or not know me but I've never asked for anything in my life and I feel embarrassed and terrible about this but I'm trying to save my life any little bit can help thank you very much.
