Friends and family, I am extremely embarrassed and humiliated to ask for this. I am experiencing some health issues which have prevented me from working to support my family. In the middle of October I developed an infection in my feet after a minor injury. The infection wound up spreading upwards into my legs and body and eventually made its way into my blood. After a 5 day hospital stay and powerful IV antibiotics doctors were able to get control but some damage was done. I wound up missing 6 weeks of work due to illness and not being able to walk. I was getting better slowly but surely every day and finally in the beginning of December I was able to return to work. Everything was progressing well until January 1st when I noticed some redness in my right foot. It spread very quickly and within 24 hours and a trip to the emergency room I was admitted to the hospital once again. The infection moved quickly and the swelling and pain so bad my skin ripped open in several places and once again I am unable to walk. After seeing a specialist, she immediately wanted to set up surgery to amputate some areas on my foot. I said I would rather wait until mri test results came back and am glad I did. After my second visit she said it looks like I will lose nothing. The infection is still serious and is once again in my blood. I have been on powerful IV antibiotics 24/7 for almost 7 days now. After my recent test they discovered the infection has moved into the bone and I will need IV antibiotics for the next 6 to 8 weeks along with not being able to walk. Currently I am still in the hospital with no ETA on being released.i am asking for assistance to help pay bills and expenses as I am already behind and falling farther quickly. For those who do not know I have 2 boys, David and Jacob 10 and 8 and our new baby daughter Abigail Rose who just turned 16 months. Until now I have been the sole provider for our family. My wife Amy is now currently looking for work also but it can take time with interviews, background checks, drug sreening etc. If you are in a position to help out, anything is both needed and appreciated and I hope the Good Lord returns it to you ten thousand fold. Please say a prayer for my family and myself in these difficult times and thank you for taking the time to read this.

Thanks, Dave
