Urgent Help Needed After Life Threatening Injury

Donation protected
I recently suffered a horrible injury to my leg whilst moving for work.

Whilst having it treated in hospital I caught a secondary infection which 3 weeks later landed me in hospital for a month. I nearly died from Sepsis.

After going into shock at my work, and a month in hospital the job I moved for was gone, and good jobs are not easy to come by in this economy.

So, my move only served to bankrupt me, instead of improving my lot in life.

The temporary housing I paid for that I was supposed to be living in whilst in hospital, well I still had to pay for that, plus a month stay in hospital, and another month after that to recover somewhat. A month which will end in less than 2 weeks.

I was able to exercise just my arms 9 minutes today in total. Not all at once either. Seems Septic shock affects a lot more than just the point of injury that leads to it. It's system wide, and has left me being exhausted by what 3 months ago would have had zero effect on me.

The doctors spent much of my time in hospital removing necrotized muscle from my leg, and so the lower half of my right leg is mostly bone, and a bit of tendon. Recovery will take me longer than 2 more weeks, and living in a car will certainly not help with that.

I'm a proud man, and have never asked for charity before. I've worked full time 37 years, and if you add in my working since I was a teenager it is well over 43 with no break, and no charity of any kind.

However, I've never had an injury like this before. Not ever. I've never been in this position before, and if I don't ask for some kind of aid I won't have everything I need to survive whilst living in a car.

Such doesn't scare me, as I am a hard worker, a productive person, and will have no issue finding work once I am healed, and able. However, until then I'm a mess, and will need your guys help to make this upcoming situation as ideal as possible so I get back on my feet that much quicker.

I'm not asking for a hand out, but a hand up.

I've never been one to accept charity, but I find myself in a situation now where I've little choice.

I would be happy to repay anyone who is willing to donate, and wishes such, or I'd just as happily exchange my philosophical acumen in the form of a video, or advice on some issue in exchange for any help offered.

Trust me, philosophy applied in the right way is priceless.

I can barely walk now, but with time, and some more rest I am sure I will recover, at least for the most part.

I just need some aid to help with that.

I guess at some point in life we all need help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

The Realist Philosopher

UPDATE! It runs out that right before I was admitted to hospital that I had a heart attack. No idea the full extent of the damage, but it explains why my heart has been bothering, and why even the smallest exertion makes me become short of breath.

Please, donate so that I can get back on my feet, and find some way to make my way without aid.
