About this fundraiser

I was severely injured in a car accident at the age of 17. It changed my life forever.  At the age of 18 years I had to have my 1st back surgery. It was hard for me to work without severe pain. But I did work. I was an auto mechanic. And that was not good for my situation. That was the start of a long life of chronic pain and surgery after surgery. I never really got to go anywhere or go on vacation. I couldn't afford to. I have never had a new vehicle, I was forced to drive whatever i could drive. I was a mechanic so i made do. By the time i was 45 the doctors were telling me i would be wheelchair bound. But 4 more surgeries kept me on my feet. Chronic pain took a toll on me. And I worked up until 2002-03. I am still walking by Gods Grace. I had another surgery in 2022. I am 67 years old now. Still in pain but on my feet. I never have got to do much in my life. And i am merely stating that. My Kids have been my life. There are things I have to have soon. I still take care of myself. My vehicle is a standard shift and its not good for my back. My house does not have any specialty items to help me out. I could only hope and pray that i might get to have a vacation. Before the time comes that i can,t. So its not really one thing. It is a list of things i have done without most of my life. Thank You so much for listening. Cause I have never been good at asking for help. These days with inflation and the small amount i have to budget with. I do not get many things beyond what i use weekly.
