Rent Money Used For Surgery - Eviction Incoming - Need Help

Donation protected

Hi, my name is Sean Preston, better known as "Grakees". I am schizophrenic and more recently a diagnosed diabetic; which leaves for a tight budget. But the reason I am here is I was severely injured by a scald incident with my shower. I was blasted with pure hot water, well beyond safety limits, and it has left me with "CRPD" complex regional pain disorder as well as an ulnar lesion. The ulnar nerve is that one that runs down through your elbow into the outside hand and fingers. You know when you smack your "funny bone", that is the ulnar nerve, so it is a pretty important one. Well I am losing function in my right hand, which can progress into further loss of arm movement as well, and I need surgery.

Luckily, I have that covered, but it cost me $2500 I did not expect to need to use to save my hand and arm. With the tight budget that meant a choice - save my hand and arm - or keep a roof over my head. I chose the arm, so now I am here, to see if I have anyone out there that can help me keep a roof as well.



Fund breakdown - there are small bank fees. Literally two items:

Rent Aug 2024 1230.00
Rent Sept 2024 1230.00

That is it, straightforward - no fuss no muss. That is what I did not pay so I could pay the 2500 remaining (after discounts and programs) to schedule the October surgery as quickly as possible. I chose hand over roof. To me a functioning body is more important.
