Painful Tags

I just got released from the hospital this week after having been there for a week. I also have a condition called pyoderma gangrenasum which causes debilitating ulcers on my legs. I went in to have a doc see my ulcer because it had gotten to the point where it was painful to walk. They took blood tests and found a slew of other things wrong. They found that I was Anemic, low Vitamin D right off the bat. Upon further tests including colonoscopy, CT scan, Enema and more they found a blockage and a small hole in my colon so I was admitting and pumped with medication. I started feeling better and after a week they finally let me go home. I am still on multiple medications and am struggling with getting things back to normal. My Crohn's disease has made my life a living hell at times. Some days I can't eat without pain, I suffer from arthritis like symptoms that make it painful to walk, it wakes me up at night so I have difficulty sleeping and now on top of that I have become moody and depressed. I am unable to work and have no income. I am in the process of retrying to get disability after being denied because I am only in my 30s and they think I can still work. Stress makes my condition worse and I cant help but be stressed every day. I get very little relief. I have a wonderful fiance who has been struggling to pay for all of our living expenses on his own and it is making his life dramatically harder as well. I need help. I am asking for your grace and kindness right now. It is increasingly difficult to be able to afford just daily items such as soap and shampoo, not to mention medications because I am unable to afford insurance. Please if there is any amount you can give, it would be wholeheartedly appreciated. I am in dire straights right now.. Thank you for taking the time out to read this..

Nothing seems to be working out for me here in Lake Havasu City,AZ.NO Jobs out here! If someone would help me buy a one way ticket to Texas so I can move in with my friend Erica Stockton.Her husband left her in August of 2011.Well,mine told me to take a hike this last April the first 2012! I am asking for bus fare on the greyhound. I wish to ask for about 400 dollars to cover bus fare and hotel fees until I locate my friend's apartment.I have her cell number and I can contact her the day I leave Lake Havasu City.It is so painful to run into your ex all the time here.I am staying with some LDS church friends until the last day of May.After that,I do not have a clue where I'm gonna stay after that.So I wish to leave town so that I can move on with my life in the state of Texas.I am Asian and where my friend lives there is a huge oriental population there.If someone were to extend me a helping hand,I believe there is a life in Texas for me.It's a bigger city and many job opportunities.The only way I'm going to get over my ex is if I were to leave town and not tell him a thing!So,if there's anyone out there willing to help me,it would be appreciated.

hello:)... i feel very awkward attempting to explain just how serious and overwhelming my families situation is right now...i have always been there and helped in anyway that i was able to with family,friends, and strangers. i spent most of my life making sure that the ones around me were atleast happy, hopefully healthy, and especially loved.. Now i have a baby boy of my own, i am a single mother, and i want to provide MY son with the best possible opportunities in his life... i want to experience life with him...to see his accomplishments,to laugh with him,and to always let him know he is safe..... however- like many individuals, i am having many setbacks. unfortunately some of these issues are pretty serious:( i have severe dental problems:i have since i was a child, and never had the $ to take care of it. it has reached a point that it is life threatening if i do not somehow find a "miracle"...if my lack of money ends up shortening my sons life experiences with me, i will never forgive myself. i have to have extensive surgeries...mainly what i am praying for assistance for at the moment is any type of kind heartedness and understanding....i have to find a way to afford dental implantation and reconstruction of my entire mouth:(:(...it is soo embarrassing....but above that....extremely painful every day...it hinders my time with my son, aswell as finding a good job to support him....i cant smile anymore....not because i dont want to,but because it hurts:(. if u decide to read this lengthly post, and you have it in your means to help us in anyway, then u are an amazing and deeply appreciated individual...even if you are unable to help us at this time....i appreciate the time you took from yourself to read my words. *Bless YOU*

Can maybe get Social Security in 5 months but need help living till then.
Dire Straits. noun. a bad or difficult situation or state of affairs, (not just the name of a band).
Up front, I take full responsibility for my current condition/situation, no other person place or thing is responsible for bad decisions I have made. And I have made quite a few.
That being stated, here are the facts;
Currently living in a car(read that homeless).
Unemployed, not unemployable but a very poor job history.
Stuck in a place where the weather is nice, but I really do not want to be here.
So if you have guessed that this is a plee for help, you are correct.
How did I get here? Years of practice.
I recently spoke with a professional, not in his professional settings, but of subjet matter that is discussed in his professional settings.
After some communications between us his opinion is that quite probably I am suffering from PTSD (Post Tramatic Stress Disorder). Something I aquired at the age of 17. 45 years ago I was involved in an automobile accident that resulted in both deaths, yes plural, and permanent disability to persons other than myself. Although due to circumstances beyond my control I was never charged with any crime, and there are no wants or warrants now, I believe the accident was my fault. I am willing to discuss the details in private as posting them on the internet could possibly bring painful memories to any living family members involved.
So for 45 years I have practiced the symptoms of PTSD so well that I have slipped through undetected. Probably in part due to the fact that although I am of the typical age of a Vietnam Vet, I never served in that arena, as I ran away from home just after the accident, because I was afraid of going to jail, that any draft papers never caught up with me. I was not afraid of going to jail because of being locked behind bars, I was afraid of suffering more sexual abuse at the hands of older inmates like I had already received from my sick alcoholic father.
So not being a vet and not discussing the accident no one ever considered PTSD, and they now know that severe trama of any sort can cause it, not just the theatre of the battlefield. Couple that to me not staying in one spot long enough for anyone to really know me. I have been successfully hiding in my head. As long as I don't get too close too intimate it won't hurt when I run away and lose you.
Severe trama it is now believed to stunt emotional growth. If the trama is severe enough emotional growth can in fact be locked in to the time of the tramatic event. So imagine being a teenager in a 61 year old body, thats me. Married 4 times afraid to have children. I heard on a radio talk show when I was very young that "The sins of the fathers where passed to their offsprings" and made a decision to never have children because no way was I going to do what was done to me to some helpless trusting child. This is one of the few things that I have been successful at.
The professional says I must discuss these matters, that is part of the healing process. So I am jumping in off the deep end, going online with my story in hopes that it will benefit myself and any other poor sod that happens to be in a similar situation.
Yes I am asking for help, financial help. Here with the help of the professional is what I am thinking, If I can find a few thousand lucky individuals that are housed and employed to give one dollar then I can purchase a used motorhome, put it in an inexpensive rv park so that I can have a base of operations from which to take showers on a daily basis, eat hot food and have an address to put on job applications. I could find some form of professional assistance either city/state/federal to deal with the PTSD for the long term.
There is help available.
And just to ease the voices in your head, I have not had a drink of alcohol or any hard drugs since 1982. I have used marijuana on a irregular basis off and on my whole life, I'll see what the PTSD treatment brings regarding that issue.
Honesty, what a concept.
Well if you have read this far, please, if you can afford it, click the paypal button and just one dollar is all I ask.
Thank You,
Joe

Hi there,

I am a hardworking single parent of 2 children and ordinarily would not ask for help, however, I really don't know what else to do about my problem. Since my husband left 3 years ago I have struggled with money but due to Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and various other painful ailments I have had to stop my second job and so my lack of money is a big issue. We get by and don't expect a lot i.e. no holidays in the sun or big TVs, however, I am now in a situation where I need money for medical treatment and have no savings.


When I was pregnant with my second son, who is now 10, I developed large cysts on my face which all burst and left scars and holes all over. As you can imagine these areterribly disfiguring. My self confidence is zero, especially when people stare and mention it. I do not want to go out of the house and I have stayed in the same job for 12 years as I am too uncomfortable to have an interview for another position. I have tried various things including strong chemical peels which have only made my skin worse. My doctor has told me that I can have treatment but it will cost a few thousand. Therefore, what I am asking for is help with not just making me look "normal" but about improving my life and that of my family. If I am fortunate enough to ever have treatment I would ideally like to find a better job and give my children the start they deserve. If you are able to help me I would be most thankful and forever grateful for your assistance.

We lost our 8 1/2 month old baby girl 2 weeks ago by SIDS. My heart is absolutely shattered, I miss her smell, her touch and caring for her.
I have 4 sons and our baby girl was the icing on the cake for the family! I am dearly wanting to fly to the US to have Gender Selection as I would love to have another baby Girl. I'm not wanting to replace our daughter but to fill that hole in my heart and to feel love again. I got a taste for what it was like to have a daughter, and it was absolutely wonderful.

My name is Mr. Pragyan Sharma an inhabitant of India.Everything was going well for me my business,my family everything unless i step in to the greedy world of gambling.Now i lost everything i had and going through a very painful life.Everyday i get calls from people from whom i borrowed money.And almost tired of living.But i have a newly born boy baby(2 months old),my wife and an old mom for them i have to live no matter what.They don't even know my situation and I don't have a big enough heart to confess it to them.

Sir,i know this letter may not make any sense to you because there are probably many people like me in this world who go through such pain.But I now regret and want to start a new life.

Can you help me restart my life by helping me financially.I know you never earned your money easy still am hopeful of some help.

I never thought I would be on one of these sites. I worked very very hard to get to where I am today and now I am faced with losing it all.

We had a very difficult last couple of monthes, but manageable. I was sick for a month or so, nothing serious but enough to exhaust me. It all started with a minor yet very painful back injury. We, made a decision to purchase a friendlier mattress as my husband and I both work in intensive labor jobs and our bodies have taken quite a toll. It helps emmensely and although i was still sick, i was sleeping through the night. Recently married in August, we have about 10,000 in credit card debt, most of which is still paying for the wedding. Being suckers for animals, we took in an abandoned cat a couple monthes back.. she turned out to be pregant with behavioral issues. We kept 2 of the kittens, making 4 cats total, which is a huge adjustment. The damage to our apartment though is considerable. We figured by the time we decided to move we'd have the damages saved up as it is importnat to leave the apartment int he best shape possible. I knew we had stretched ourselves a little thin but I figured we'd be able to catch up in a couple monthes. After vet bills to care for the cats (a staggering $400) we were settling in to figure how to bring ourselves back on track. My husband's job puts him at risk for injury, as does mine. He was diagnosed with a hernia a week ago and meets with the surgeon to schedule the repair before it gets worse (it is already interfereing with his life as it is painful).

This morning my husband lost his job and I was put on notice. We cannot pay our bills. The timing is the perfect storm and we are desperaste.

We know we made poor decisions. This is too public a venue to truly explain How far we both have come in our lives, the obstacles we overcame to get here and how vehemently hard we worked to make our lives what they have been these last couple of years. There was a time I would not have dared to dream my life could be so blessed. And now, a few small mistakes could take it all away.

I am hoping to get a little money, any money really..to help offset our bills so that we have time to find another job. This website is my my desperate plea.
thank you

A Desperate Plea for HELP… Donations for Luxating Patella Surgery!


I have a Service Dog named FiFi who is a Medical Alert Dog.
My Service Dog has been diagnosed with an extreme case of Severe Bilateral Medical Luxating Patella, confirmed by two separate veterinarians, who consider it to be a chronic and serious medical condition. The grooves in her femurs, where the kneecaps are supposed to ride, are very shallow and have caused her kneecaps to slip out of socket to the inside of the legs. Her kneecaps cannot be manipulated back into place by hand.
She has developed the condition bilaterally, on both sides, her condition is at a Grade 5 out of 5 in both hind knees, which is the most severe, and she needs surgery ASAP on both limbs.

The Luxating Patellas are causing constant pain and discomfort, decreased energy level, tiring quickly, bony protuberances, bowlegged, crouching stance, swollen knees and joints, poor coordination, loss of balance, limited mobility, stiffness when walking, a change in posture, lack of appetite, and arthritis pain.
When she is able to walk she does so with one of her hind legs further out from her body, while the other affected limb is always being carried because it is much too painful to use. For the most part, she must balance her weight on her front legs as she walks, while holding her hindquarters off the ground, which is severely uncomfortable to say the least. She is no longer able to walk, or even stand on her left hind leg, and is not able to move it.

The recommendation is for her to have corrective surgery on both knees within 2 weeks. The surgeon advised that, if left untreated, the condition will worsen and may lead to rupture of the cruciate ligament as well as painful deformation of the leg bones as she continues to grow. The surgery involves deepening the trochlear groove and modifying the joint capsule to prevent the kneecap from slipping out. If there is significant deformation of the leg bones, they will have to be cut, realigned and pinned. She will have approximately 8 weeks of recovery time.

As you can imagine, this surgery will not be cheap. The estimated cost (at a reduced price) is approx. $1,900 to $2,000, per leg, not including pre-op lab work, post-op rechecks, X-rays, narcotic pain medicine, a custom-built Wheelchair for Toy Breeds (to help her get around), plus miscellaneous other medical supplies that she will need after surgery. The Wheelchair (as prescribed by her Veterinarian) must be ordered online and costs $249.00+ Tax + Shipping and Handling charges).

If FiFi does not get the surgery she needs she will be forced to live a life of constant pain with a permanent luxation that could develop into degenerative joint changes, bone deformities of the femur and tibia, and may not be able to walk ever again!

Any donation that you can make towards FiFi's surgery would be greatly appreciated!

FiFi is an adorable Toy Pomeranian with a Sweet and Loving Disposition; a Sparkling Personality and Magical Charm. She is very clever, well-mannered, and is unusually calm and quiet. She is one smart dog!
She has brought so much Joy and Blessing into my life; I can't ever imagine life without her! Wherever I go, FiFi brings out the best in people. I know she brings out the best in me. I have formed a special bond with FiFi. She is not only my Service Dog; she is also my Best Friend and part of my Family.

My dog is a Service Dog, and she's paid her dues. It is a lot of money, but my dog deserves it. She's only 7 years old.

If it were for me, I would not ask for help.

But it's for FiFi!

Thank you all in advance for your donations, prayers and support!!


P.S. I can provide good personal and veterinary references to testify that I am a loving and responsible pet parent. I can also provide medical documentation from FiFi’s Veterinarian to verify her diagnosis and medical condition.

Definition of Luxating Patella:

(Luxated Patellas are a congenital (present at birth) condition. The actual luxation may not be present at birth, but the structural changes which lead to luxation are present. A Luxating Patella, or Patellar Luxation, is a condition that involves the dislocation of the knee cap, where it rotates to either the inside or the outside of the leg. A Luxating Patella can result from a traumatic injury or from a birth defect, but it is primarily passed down through ancestral genes).
Grade IV. The Patella cannot be replaced manually, and the leg is carried or used in a crouching position. Extension of the stifle is virtually impossible. Tibial rotation is quite severe, resulting in a "bow legged" appearance.

I am a 25year old single mom, struggling to make ends meet. I have a custody order witch does not allow relocation out of state, so I am here alone. My family all lives in other states. My parents would love to help me however they r on fixed income disability so they r not to hot themselves. I work part-time as housekeeper, about eight hours a week. Not enough I donot recieve child support and am really close to eviction notice I ride a bike to and from work and continually looking for more work. I am sitting at home alone on thanksgiving dat. I am not able to even enjoy the holiday with family due to income. My 4yr old lil girl is with her dad today and this is my first time ever to spend a holiday alone. It is more painful due to my landlord has already been knocking wanting rent and I have no money. I haven't got to work all week. So any donations .... Would mean the worlds to me. Please give me a smile to get through this holiday.

If I could get any kind of help to get back home I will help others that get stuck. Any amount of money would be a wonderful blessing...please help me if you can. Thank you and God bless you for your time.

Just trying to work up enough money to see my doctor.

I have a spinal disease that causes my spine to twist in on itself. It is very painful and disabling. I have been without my medicine all day and it is looking like I have a long road ahead of my until I can make the kind of money needed to get to pain management.

I am trying to work up the $500 needed to see the PM doctor so I can get relief from this pain. I am scared of what the next few days will bring without any kind of pain meds. Thus I am willing to try anything at this point.

I have been out of work for over 3 years dealing with this condition, I was hoping that it would improve with bracing, medicine, and therapy--however it continues to twist further. I am in serious need of help to get to the doctor, so if anyone would like to help me out, I would be more than appreciative.

Thanks.

My Illness

I am Kit Kaplan's sister. My name is Gigi Fredy and I first became ill over a year ago when I was diagnosed with emphysema. I was hospitalized frequently and lost my sales job because I could not produce. While in the hospital they found I had non-drinkers cirrhosis of the liver (a family illness which killed my cousin recently).

I also have painful cirrhotic arthritis, diabetes, and now a serious heart condition from stress. My ribs are fracturing and I may have bone cancer.  It seems like every week I have another diagnosis, most of which can kill me.

I am Raising a Disabled Child

My daughter Ashley is 19 and and has a 16 month old son Kingston. She became extremely unstable after his birth. Ashley has struggled with physical and mental illness on and off since her childhood and has been in 10 institutions since the baby was born. She gets overwhelmed easy and is afraid of losing me so she has begun to have small mental breakdowns that land her in the psychiatric ward.

The stress of raising Ashley alone has taken a toll on me over the years and now I am primary caregiver for the baby who exhausts me and I fear we will have to give him up.

We live week to week on gifts from friends and family, always fearing eviction. Our family has said they have no more to give. We have no car and my daughter cannot get to her treatment program so we are stuck inside most of the time as it is very hot here.

I applied for disability and Ashley also has a strong disability case. Will be able to support ourselves then but we don't know when it will happen.

In the meantime, we are living hand to mouth running out of diapers and food and almost got evicted last month. I am exhausted and terrified. We are afraid we will have to give up the baby and move to a shelter. I don't know how my life got this bad but it did.

You can help!

It is hard for me having supported myself since I was 15 to now have to live on the goodness of others. I need your help. Please donate what you can. Even $25 will pay for diapers for the month. $100 pays a utility bill. Our monthly expenses are $1800, give what you can.

God bless you.

Oh wow, where do I start; it's so painful. I need financial help like yesterday. I'm an Army veteran with 11 years active duty, 17 yrs total active service. I trained National Guard soldiers for Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo and Afghanistan from 2004-2011 during Operation Enduring Freedom/Iraqi Freedom. I've recently fallen on hard times and I'm about to lose my home. Was in the Reserves and haven't found permanent work yet since honorable discharge from active duty back into Reserves. I have filed for bankruptcy but it hasn't been discharged yet. I'm 20% disabled from injuries while serving on active duty and I'm diabetic. My disability check isn't a lot but the Veteran's Administration is taking money out of my disability pay for medication and copay visits.

I'm still hopeful though that someone can help me save my home, I need about $13,000.00 and it is nearing foreclosure. I don't wanna lose my home just because jobs are low paying in this area. I'm unemployed and don't have permanent full time employment. This situation hurts my heart. It's hard to ask for help when I'm so used to being the strong and independent one. Please help me if you can. Even a $1.00, $5.00 will help. My car was repossessed a year ago but I got it back due to filing bankruptcy. As of 15 Oct, I have -$38.47 in my bank. When my debt is paid down, I will pay it forward and help someone in need! Thank you for your caring hearts! I'm believing in a miracle!!

P.S. I'm not somebody fake from somewhere overseas like India or Africa hustling or scamming Americans for money.

Last eleven months have been very painful to me. I've lived in uncertainty, or even fear, that I have a bad disease. The latest doctor appointment proved that I don't have it (thank god), so besides that being a huge relief for us, it also showed me that one needs to live the life that has been given, and not take it for granted. One fellow said it well, that people only appreciate health when it's taken away from them.

After getting a second chance of sorts from my doctors, I've decided that I want to make the most of it.The money received from this would go fully to fulfill mine and my wife's biggest dream. The one we're been chasing for many, many years. To visit Japan. We've always wanted to go there, and this might allow us to do so. After chasing the dream for so many years, I decided that I don't want to chase it any more. I want to have it. I want it to be reality. Life is too short and fragile to only chase dreams..

That trip will also act as our honeymoon (We've been married for almost three years now, and still haven't gotten our honeymoon...My wife says that it's totally fine, but I don't believe her. I feel like I've let her down, and that's really eating me up inside.) I want this to be the honeymoon of her dreams. I have no idea how long that will take, but I will not give up. I want this to happen :)

Dear Friends,

My name is Gigi and I became ill over a year ago when I was diagnosed with emphysema. I was hospitalized frequently for lung related issues before they found it and lost my sales job because I could not produce . While in the hospital they found I had non-drinkers cirrhosis of the liver (which killed my cousin recently). I also have painful cirrhotic arthritis, diabetes, IBS and now a serious heart condition from stress. My ribs are fracturing and I may have bone cancer. It seems like every week I have another diagnosis, many that can kill me.

My daughter Ashley is 19 and and has a 16 month old son named Kingston. She became extremely unstable after his birth. Ashley has struggled with physical and mental illness on and off since her childhood and has been in 9 institutions since the baby was born.

The stress of raising Ashley alone has taken a toll on me over the years and now I am primary caregiver for the baby who exhausts me and I fear we will have to give him up.

We live week to week on gifts from family, always fearing eviction. Our family has said they have no more to give. We have no car and my daughter cannot get to her treatment program so we are stuck inside most of the time as it is very hot here.

I applied for disability and Ashley also has a strong disability case.

Will be able to support ourselves but we don't know when.

In the meantime, we are living hand to mouth running out of diapers and food and almost got evicted this month. I am exhausted and terrified. We have no more friends or family to go to. We are afraid we will have to give up the baby and move to a shelter. I don't know how my life got this bad but it did.

Please help us.

I will be happy to talk to you about out situation. fredy5810@gmail.com
