Horace's End-Stage Renal Failure Recovery and Help

Donation protected
This has taken me a long time to decide to do because so many people helped me when I asked for help in February. Back then, my kidneys were recovering and Covid-19 was doing its best to end things. While I thankfully recovered from COVID, its believed that my kidney recovery both stopped and began failing due to that very virus.

Now I've gone through several chest catheters that are tunneled through my heart that "allow" me to go to Dialysis four times a week for five hours at a time. I spend 20 hours a week just to keep my body functioning at the level that it is now. Dialysis has saved me from internally drowning from body fluid (My body reached 430 lbs at peak weight and dialysis removed 100+ lbs of excess fluid from my body) but it leaves me drained, no pun intended.

Throughout this, I continue to battle multiple infections, low blood pressure, and nausea that can keep me from eating for days at a time. I do my very best to try and clock in amidst all of this, but unfortunately, sometimes my body just says, "No.

As some of you may have noticed from social media, I've begun to start selling some of my things to cover my life expenses and medical bills since missing work has unfortunately caused a hit to the paychecks. I hate to ask for help once again, but as many of you have reminded me, sometimes its okay.

So, here I am asking for help. Anything helps, and if there's something I can do to try to earn money on the side, please message me as I'd be willing to work for it as well if I can. All donations will be going towards rent and medical bills, and if we can reach the goal, that'd ease my heart quite a bit while I still go through several upcoming procedures that will likely take me out of work even more.

Thank you in advance, even if it's just to take the time to listen to my story and wish me well!
