About this fundraiser

Hello, my name is Robert Torres Q., and I am reaching out to you today with a heartfelt request for support. I am a senior citizen currently battling severe health issues, including debilitating neuropathy and narcolepsy. The pain I endure on a daily basis is unbearable, and it has drastically impacted my ability to live a normal life.

The neuropathy I suffer from causes my feet to feel as though they are on fire, with the pain often described as a cattle prod shocking my toes. When I try to walk, sharp, razor-like pain shoots through my feet, making every step excruciating. At times, the pain is so intense that I can’t help but cry out in agony.

Despite being under the care of Dr. Dodge and other physicians at Providence Hospital in Laguna Beach, California, my condition has only worsened. The constant pain prevents me from sleeping, which only adds to the toll this condition takes on my body and mind. The combination of physical suffering and exhaustion has left me in a constant state of distress.

In addition to neuropathy, I also live with narcolepsy, a condition that causes uncontrollable bouts of sleepiness and extreme fatigue. These two health issues, when combined, have made it incredibly difficult for me to maintain even the most basic level of independence.

I am turning to you for help. The medical treatments, therapies, and pain management options available are expensive, and I need assistance covering the costs. Your donation will go directly toward:

Pain management treatments and medications

Therapy and rehabilitation

Specialized care to help manage my narcolepsy

Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in my life and help me gain some relief from the overwhelming pain. Your kindness and generosity will allow me to focus on healing and reclaiming a sense of normalcy in my life.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and for considering a donation. Your support means more than words can express.

With gratitude,
Robert Torres Q.
