Help Russ With Monthly Bills While He Recovers

Hello,

I appreciate you taking a few minutes out of your day to read about my recent rash of medical conditions which have greatly affected my normal everyday life and functions.

During the latter part of 2022, due to experiencing constant fatigue, I was tested for anemia. The doctors discovered that I have a rare autoimmune disease called cold agglutinin hemolytic anemia where my body mistakenly attacks and kills off my red blood cells.

In late January of last year, a CAT Scan revealed a golf ball size tumor in my brain. I was immediately admitted to the hospital and two days later most of the tumor was removed. Is still have part of the tumor intact as well as scar tissue. I’ve had 30 brain radiation treatments on my brain post-op.

Two months later after a bone marrow biopsy, I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. I've received over 100 blood draws and 8 IV Therapy treatments over the past year.

And then just a few days ago I collapsed twice in one day due to Grand Mal seizures, which resulted in me passing out twice, cutting off part of my tongue, and receiving 3 thoracic compression fractures of my T3, T5, and T7 vertebrae. The doctors suspect it's due to the brain tumor.

I spent two night in the hospital. The pain radiates from my vertebrae to my ribs and lungs, causing unbearable pain and lack of breathe. I'm only able to work a couple hours a day at most and I rarely sleep at night.

As I heal from these conditions, I'm asking for your graciousness to donate money to help me pay my rent and utilities during this season. I fully expect to heal, but until then I need financial help to get me through as this recent health condition has rendered me virtually useless, and the stress of not being able to work as much elevates the risk for additional seizures.

I'm not allowed to drive due to the seizures, so any food or supplies must be delivered to me until I've been given the ok from my doctors. The lack of independence and having company over causes additional stress.

Anything you can give is much appreciated. Thank you and God bless you!

Russ
