Expenses for Mayo Clinic Marine Veteran
Donation protected
I have debated on this for a few weeks now. Many of you know my history, some may not. So I shall share briefly. I am a Disabled Marine Veteran with gulf war Illness, and the VA healthcare has failed me. They have neglected me treatment causing me to go blind in my right eye, I have 3 brain tumors in which I went through chemo twice. The first time they gave me the wrong type and I lived in misery during that course of treatment. The second time it failed. They just want to monitor it with an MRI every six months and that is no course of action. Last month I started to loose blood in large amounts and reported that to the VA and they have done nothing. I have been to local ER’s and still loosing large amounts of blood. I have called the VA hotline and when my primary care nurse found out she informed me that the staff at my local VA hospital called me a bitch for doing so. So as you can see they resent me and not only me but numerous veterans as well. I have tried over the course of years to devote what time I have left by helping countless veterans on VeteransTavern.com and I have succeeded. Sadly this time I lay my head down at night and peace is not found. I wake up to a sunrise I cannot see happiness in. The days repeat as the pain persists. I just want answers and this GoFundMe will allow me to at least get treatment or the answer there is nothing more that can be done. If you cannot donate that is fine, I pray that you and yours remain safe. If you have loved ones serving please inform them of what the VA has done to me, maybe it will prevent them from going through what I have went through. As always much love Gunny
