Help me sleep? Before I start snoring mid-sentence.

Hey everyone, I didn't think I'd ever be in this situation before, crowd funding, and more specifically crowd funding for a medical expense...? I don't even know where to begin. I need a CPAP Machine so I can be on Oxygen therapy.
Basically I need your help, because right now, my body thinks "sleep" is an optional hobby. Thanks to sleep apnea, I spend my nights gasping for air like a fish out of water, and my days feeling like a zombie looking for a pot of coffee. I wake up with my eyes bloodshot from the lack of sleep, my body feeling like a lead weight and in some extreme cases I feel so exhausted when I wake up I fall over or literally can't get out of bed because of being disorientated - basically I feel so sleep deprived at times, I feel drunk (EZ, get on my level bruh)
I'm tired of feeling tired (HAH) for years my life has been like this and I've always chalked it up to "it's cause of your depression" or I've been told "you just have insomnia" "sleeping pills would probably help." I've been called "lazy" and "uncaring" for my inability to get up or wake up because of this condition.
There's a myriad of health conditions that come from having untreated sleep apnea, but extreme fatigue has caused me to, miss out on making family memories and going to once in a life time events.
I've lost jobs, and am still struggling to keep my job because of my fatigue or sleeping through alarms (Turns out, employers frown upon napping at your desk - who knew!?)
Again, I've never been in this situation before, crowd funding for a medical expense, and never thought I'd have to - but Oxygen Therapy isn't free here, so I'm setting aside money each of my paychecks to fund this CPAP machine for me, a long with the necessary cleaning equipment for it - in theory, with the money I set aside biweekly, I'll be able to afford this machine in 2 years. Without anyone's help... So I'm here asking for your's.
If you can chip in, I'd be in debt to you. If not, sharing this fundraiser is just as valuable! Help me start breathing easy again- before I start sleepwalking into traffic?
Much love, Nick aka. Coffin
