Helping George
Donation protected
My name is Angela and I'm raising money to assist my classmate Mr. George Mclemore with his long road to recovery. Here's George's personal story!
It started with the wombs I was being treated for, began having pains around them. But they said it would swell, and sting around the scars...But then the pains grew into sharp lighting pains, it was thought to be nerve pain/damage. I went to the emergency room. They said "Well, you need an appointment with a wound specialist "or see your primary doctor; he finally got me an appointment; but it was 2 months later. On April 22, I was in so much pain I couldn't bear it. I went back to the emergency room for the fourth time ..they kept saying my blood pressure was too low, and I couldn't stay awake. They had to cut open the wombs to look and discovered the rarest bacteria. They flushed it 4 times. On the fourth flush, nothing changed, my white blood cells shot up to 40000 and my organs almost completely shut down ..the decision of life or limb was made by my mother ...I stayed in ICU for 9 days in a coma-like state with a tube in my throat to assist with my breathing.
It was a shock because I just got my health back in order, lost 40 pounds, and was about to return to work. I have bad nightmares, and depression tries to take over...but I know I gotta be strong; I don't wanna settle for no wheelchair, so I gotta even more brutal fight to learn how to walk again.
May 7 was the official wake-up day.
My leg was amputated, and now I'm trying to work towards my recovery. Unable to return to work I need help! some of the items needed are a mattress, bathroom rails, sit-downs, shower handrails, financial help with bills, medication, food, etc.
We ask that you will also keep George in your thoughts and prayers! Thank you in advance and may God bless you.
