About this fundraiser

I was in the hospital September 26th 2025 I went in for a common cold which say considered that I had rhinovirus para influenza and pneumonia. The whole time I was there my oxygen was pretty high they had it turned up to a five which is just about the highest you can get. And between the illnesses that I had and the oxygen being turned up from from September 26th till October 1st I crashed and I died. I was put on life support for 5 days and then I was moved up to a regular room. I stayed in a regular room until October 13th when they transferred me to a rehabilitation Hospital in Seneca South Carolina for which I stayed until November 17th 2025. I went home with a ventilator that I have to wear every night a concentrator that makes its own oxygen and an oxygen tank that I could take with me wherever I go. I returned to my job at Clemson University January 6th 2026. We have been struggling from the day I went into the hospital and we are still struggling. My fiance had a job he was working and in February he got sick went to numerous doctors went to numerous specialists nobody can find anything wrong with him but they kept putting him out of work so they can find out what was wrong with him. Finally in April they took out his gallbladder. He still has not recuperated from his gallbladder surgery she's been back to doctors yes he has small part-time job right now but I am off work right now and so is my autistic son because we work at Clemson University since there are no students there we maybe laid off until August the middle of August they do have summer camps there but since my son and I are in our whole time we don't get to work for the summer unless somebody quits or just doesn't show up so yeah we are still struggling very badly and we need the help as soon as possible. My landlord is now threatening to evict us because my lawn is really long I don't have money to pay anybody and I don't even own my own lawn mower. Our rent is due one car got repossessed we both had our own car to get back and forth to work because we worked different hours so if you could find it in your heart to please donate to us and help us as much as you can we would greatly greatly appreciate it. Thank you and God bless
