Help Stephen Byars with Medical and Move Costs.

Donation protected
Dearest Friends and Family,

It's Stephen. As you may know, I'm terrible at asking for help. Therefore I'm undertaking this endeavor on my own. I regret that it has come to this. Nevertheless, here I am, "Hat In Hand" as they say.

Some may know that I had emergency, life-saving surgery in the Spring of 2021 and was in the Hospital for 2 Months. While the surgery saved my life, despite the vallient efforts of my surgeons, nurses, and ER staff, I am now, unfortunately, physically disabled and can no longer work in my usual capacity in my former career. My quality of life is quite diminished, and I am just now able to actively search for work in a capacity that I can manage with my disabillity and start over again.

(Checking my privilege here, as all should be so lucky.) Despite my wonderful parents who have provided a place for me to stay during my ongoing recovery, and help from beloved friends who have been storing my worldly possessions in another city, and Medical Insurance, all of which I am eternally grateful for and would be truly lost without them, I have found myself, like countless other Americans with crippling current and future medical debt and Monthly fees for life-giving medicines, and treatments, as well as other costs I will have to incur to relocate my possessions.

I am very aware that current economic pressure is affecting everyone. The world doesn't owe me a thing. If you are unable to help, I completely understand. I truly wish I didn't have to ask. I'm grateful if you even consider it, and words of encouragement are welcome in lieu of financial donations. My greatest wish for everyone I know is to thrive. That being said, if you are one of the fortunate ones who I am lucky to know, and you can help, I would be indebted to you for the rest of my life.
Thank you to all who have helped me during this transitional time in my life. I love you all. I hope to be there for you one day in the future. When I have recouped my expenses, I will be honored to share in my future wealth with you.

With love and light,

Stephen Byars
