About this fundraiser

Top of the day to you I'm Mike Shea a 64 yr young senior who hopefully through the kindness of others help I may be able to make my families existence a bit more pleasant as it should be in our golden years so here's a bit about me and the reason I'm seeking assistance I grew up in a poor working class family I've had many jobs in many phases of the construction field and rehab work , truck driver,custom manufacturing , fabrication you name it if it was honest work I was for it throughout my life  trying to find where I fit in in this world never thinking about getting older, hoping one day I could do something to make things easier for my aging parents and I came up with what I thought was a good and noble plan to help my parents in their older years and use the knowledge and contacts  I gleaned from the construction industry to start a custom home builders company  .  I  advised my parents to let my brother an i help them build a home our plan was to buy a sub dividable property with  a house on it live in one while building another, once we built and sold the first one and rinse and repeat as they say . They had a 3 acre property with a mobile home on it we were already halfway there,my dad had $70K in his profit sharing at work so he cashed it in and my mom and him purchased a home package and  We built a beautiful   32x70 3br brick rancher with 2 fireplaces , hardwood flooring a 30 x16 deck in Cherry Hill estates in beautiful harford county before you enter rock State Park. We sold the property and things were looking good and Mom an dad  found and purchased a property that foot the bill a house on subdividable property.so we all moved down to the Eastern Shore in Deals Island and settle in.we all get established and proceed to execute our plan and my dad falls ill with cancer and with that the whole plan falls apart bills and cancer eat up funds and everything changes over the next 10 years I loose my mom & dad to Cancer and my only son  which really devastated me the misses and I were out for a ride when  i was struck by my own car as I was shutting the hood after it popped open while we were getting on the interstate by an apparently overworked nurse who  strikes my car from behind and  I wake up under my car then in the hospital with a broken face and a TBI  that took me almost 8 yrs to overcome not to mention the 6 nodules they found on the cat scan which were 4 centimeters ,the last time I had a scan they had increased to 14 cm but I'm afraid if they take a biopsy they'll spread so I'll take my chances as I had already lost my parents and not per say from the cancer but from the side effects of chemo I seen the devastation that starvation can bring as I watched my dad die of starvation and holding my mom's hand as she took her last breath the only pain I suffered from death that was worse than loosing the ones who brought me into this world was finding my only son deceased at age 24 prior to all of the above I fell and shattered my lower back and broke my pelvis which took a bit to adjust to and I still struggle at times but I'm not a quitter i started a transport service 2 years ago and all I needed is a ¾ ton crew cab pickup to make my business a go which I didn't think would be that hard to purchase and what was I thinking I may have a good plan but it's not a proven plan I believe it's called HOTSHOTING but with a twist and I don't want to give away my business plan here and create competition for myself as I had things set up with a company that quoted me $125k per year after expenses Im looking at around $80K+which sure beats the $10K I'm drawing on disability but I don't make enough money being on disability nor do I have any one that could offer to co sign to make the purchase which is why I'm seeking the kindness and help of others. I'm praying that through HOPE,LOVE,AN CHARITY will abide and help me with my endeavors to be able to purchase a decent used truck so I can make my company work and my family and I could obtain and earn a somewhat comfortable existence. GOD BLESS all who've read this far whether you donate or not thank you for your time and consideration.
