Support Alex with his Medical & Travel Expenses
Donation protected
• The purpose of this fundraiser, for Alexander, is to cover the Medical Expenses that were incurred in December of 2023, that were not covered by his health insurance.
• On December 11th, 2023, my Bodily system shut down, and fainted in my home office, and was down for some time, I was found unconscious and in convulsions. I do not remember any of that. Suffered a great many things, including multiple mini strokes, and a brain bleed, based on two MRIs, and multiple contusions all over my body from the convulsions on the hardwood floor. Was Brought to University Medical Center by Helicopter. The Doctor's were not sure that I would make it through the 1st night. I woke up after several days in ICU, not sure where I was, how I got there, and did not know what was going on. After I woke up, it took about 48 hours to comprehend what was going on. it was scary and I was in A lot of pain.
The funds will be used to cover expenses for a move from East Tennessee to Southeast Alaska, which will begin the third week of March 2024.
This is a major part, so I can be with my Pops, who is in his 80's, and go has the early on set of dementia, and want to spend as much time, with him, as I am able.
• This move from Tennessee to Alaska has been planned for a few months now, and the event that happened to me in December changed quite a few things and moved things on the timeline. Alex will be driving across the country to catch a Ferry Boat from Bellingham, WA. to Ketchikan, Alaska.
