Help a Family Caregiver with new lease on life

Donation protected
My name is Amiel O'Neal, a male family caregiver. I devoted the last 14 years of my life as a stay at home caregiver for two of my grandparents and both of my parents.

While truly no sacrifice could be too high for those you love, I have however been severely affected by this sacrifice. Perhaps, more than I care to admit. I even had to move from Chicago to Arizona just to care for one of my parents.

Because of my commitment to caregiving for my parents and grandparents, I have been unable to provide support for myself financially. I am currently alone in the world, with a debt of over $18,000 and no feasible means of offsetting this debt. To put it simply, I am suffering a financial hardship, and I have no support either from friends, associates or family. I am an only child who has spent the most of his life tending to his family and unable to make a life for himself.

The situation took a worse turn when I had to undergo a surgery to correct a hernia that has been slow healing while caring for one of my parents. While the doctors did not prescribe physical therapy, I have had to take up my own physical therapy in order to completely heal.

With the state of my finances coupled with my surgery, things have been quite difficult for me. I am unable to pay for living expenses. While I have attempted to secure a paying job to support myself, these attempts have not been fruitful due to the effect of the corona virus pandemic and the state of my health.

I believe that there is still much kindness in the world and hopefully I can be a beneficiary of your act of benevolence. I am in a very difficult period in my life and I am depending on your generosity to have a chance at a new life. This would cover  my outstanding debt, paying for my therapy and also my living expenses. Whatever you give to me would be greatly appreciated.

As part of my goals, I will buy a device that will help with my rehabilitation. This will also provide an opportunity for me to regain self-sufficiency. Thank you very much!
