Please understand that I have never asked anyone for this kind of help in my entire life and I am ashamed to do so. I am a retired teacher living alone, forced to retire early due to severe heart disease. I did not have enough credits toward retirement to be eligible for full benefits. I make just enough to pay my rent. My daughter is a single mother living in Texas which makes it almost impossible to visit my grandchildren for the holidays. I am enrolled in the body gift program at WVU which makes me ineligible if I move more than 75 miles from WVU University. This helps ease the financial burden to my daughter when I pass, but makes it harder for me to visit her. Recently my vehicle has reached the end of its life which makes it almost impossible for me to travel locally to Dr. visits, grocery store, etc. More importantly, to travel to Texas and spend the holidays with my family. To help make my financial situation more understandable, I am receiving meals on wheels that you have to qualify for. I am trying to raise 20,000 dollars to help with medical bills and purchase a good used vehicle that will last me the rest of my life and be able to drive in winter months and be able to visit my girls. I have a friend in the car business that will help me with this task as soon as I raise the funds. I realize that there are more people in worse situations than myself. If anyone decides to help you will be helping an old man on disability to afford to purchase the means to take care of himself and more importantly to spend as much time as possible with family. Anything would help at this point.
For those of you who read this. God bless and keep you safe in his hands always.
