My name is Dave about 4 years ago and 2022 I came back after living abroad with a decent amount of savings still in the bank. I ended up moving to Central Arizona and pursuit of a dream of gold mining and prospecting. Starting in the fall of 2022 when I came back to the mainland I started having memory issues as well as sight issues.

I went through a stressful time with bulging arteries and my temples severe pain in that area stress on my eyes frequent muscle spasms for long periods of time. This lasted for nearly 3 years I was tested for many different types of things from giant cell I read the mess to finally coming to terms that I was a survivor of multiple brain traumas and had CTE syndrome. 

I lost sight in my right eye double vision blurriness light sensitivity lights at night are scattered the Moon looks three times the size that it normally does I cannot read with my left eye now and have limited range of vision with it. 

I get $1,000 a month with social security disability and SSI together 6:45 and 396 total every month I have a land payment of $500 I was getting SNAP benefits but thanks to that big beautiful bill they cut almost $100 off of my benefits for that and kick me off of my Medicaid even though I have a disability waiver that's been straightened out thank. I have eight stents in my heart I have AFib I have memory loss I have difficulty negotiating day-to-day life skills as you all out there can manage it's very hard for me to keep my stuff together. 

The brain injury lends me to impulsive buying or actions and I'm just trying to find a space for myself to survive. I am currently living on a tract federal land. Waiting for the ranger to move me along there's my bank account right now I have a truck and a tent and a large tarp making for a camp. 

It's now March 2026 and being just north of Phoenix they are already forecasting a blistering summer I just went through thankfully one of the milder Winters Arizona has had but I still froze my ass off and dealt with cold rain wind and storms over the winter I'm beat I'm tired I'm defeated I need a home I need to be able to make a meal and sit down at a real table and eat it to take a shower and clean off the day to be able to have sanctuary that is what I'm looking for if I meet my goal I will be able to put a down payment on a piece of property and also buy into a small Park model trailer. If I have those things covered I'm pretty sure my $1,000 a month should cover me for the rest of my expenses till I have no more.

For me this is an act of last resort I don't like having to ask for help but I am in need of it sorely right now and anything that you might be able to give will be much appreciated I hope the Good karma comes around your way and treat your life and a positive way. 

Thank you for your help.Dave
