THERAPIST AND MENTAL HEALTH

Hey Hey. My name is Anna. I am 23 years old from Uganda. First and foremost, thank you to all parties involved who enable this platform to run efficiently inclusive of those who have generous hearts. I suffered a terrible trauma in my childhood where I was raped by my brother for 3 years in-between when he had holidays. It happened from when I 5-7 years was old. I was made to believe by my mom that it was my fault and my brother convinced me that this was something I loved to do. He would beat me or deny me food if I did not ‘prepare’ for the sessions. When my parents found out, they called the church leaders to pray for this sin and then deemed it over. We were banned from talking about it ever. I thought this whole thing was a dream my entire life. Something that only happened in my bad dreams.

As the #MeToo movement grew popular, I began to realize maybe it was not something that I just dreamt. I asked my other siblings about it. And they all had the same response, “You know we do not talk about it.” It has plagued me for years. Recently (last year) my parents being very religious tried to choose for me a husband. They said it was essential they found out if I had kept my virginity intact. I asked them if they meant aside from the fate that befell me when I was young? They turned and feigned innocence saying they had only heard rumors and believed it wasn’t true. However, they proceeded to tell me never to repeat this to anyone else. They even told me if those thoughts came into my head, I should just think about other things and that they could not afford for me a therapist at this time. But that I should finish studies and prepare for marriage.

I have struggled with depression. I have no one to talk to. I cannot afford a therapist. Recently, I used the last money I had to invest in binary trading with the hopes that my money would multiply, and I would be able to afford a therapist. A man named Mohammed from itrading.co.ke convinced me it was legit and proceeded to take money from me instead through various routes. It turned out to be a scam. I am now currently in debt as well as depressed. I have had many thoughts of suicide, but I remember I have to persevere to be able to help as many young girls as possible who could have suffered the same fate, when I am older and more capable. The worst part is I am forced to live in the same surrounding with this predator and watch as my parents shower him with so much love as he is their first son. They say I should be able to forgive and forget like Jesus did to the men that stoned him whilst at the cross. They do not tolerate moving out of the house unless one is married. I cannot get married to someone whom I do not love (As is the arranged marriage case they are pursuing), and neither would I want to burden them with my trauma. Nevertheless, even if I wanted to move out, I would not be able to afford to.

A therapist is about 300$ per month or 30$ per session. I am not sure how many months I would need to be rid of this evil. I would not mind help with other issues such as paying back the debt or money to move out but what is most important to me is a therapist. I need to get better. I need to focus on being the best version of myself. I have read plenty of self-help books but those can only do so much. Any help you are willing to offer would touch my heart and may you  be blessed richly and beyond in advance for any time of day you have offered to my story as well as for any money you are able and willing to grant me. If I could raise between $3500 to $5000, a whole large bunch of these issues would be solved.

Diabetic Single Dad with Three Kids, only 1 biologically mine

Hello, I am requesting some financial help. I am a 45 year old single dad of three. I take care of three kids, from three different dads. The other two aren’t involved.

I have a 15 year old autistic son and I have a 13 year old daughter who just started her “maturing” phase in life that I’m trying to help her figure out and then I have my 9 year old biological daughter.

I recently lost my career due to downsizing. I worked for a Pharmacy, where I had intended on retiring from, after 18 years. I am currently on Medicaid and now my doctors have denied services to me because they don’t take my insurance. I have an insulin pump and use 2 bottles of Humalog per month. My insurance pays for that currently but my doctor won’t send refills to the pharmacy. I tried refilling my Dexcom sensors and Transmitter and MediCal/Medicaid is requiring a prior-auth, which my doctors will not accommodate for me. The sensors alone are about $1200 a month. Not even sure about the transmitter for them to make my pump work how it should. My sugar levels have been over 500-600 since not having the Dexcom over the last 13 days.

I feel awful for asking but I have been hurting like this and I’m trying to be the great dad that I am to my amazing kids. They have been a part of my life for the last 13 years and I love all three of them with all my heart.

I am requesting $3200 so that I can pay for medical supplies and my electric bill, which is close to $900. I have explored all avenues with programs to assist with payment plans but every road has been blocked for one reason or another.

This will be a one-time request only. I’ve had two fantastic job interviews last week and I’m hoping that another one is on its way soon. I should have real benefits again soon but I may be in a precarious situation for the next month or two.

Thank you so much in advance.

Lung Transplant

I am stage 4 end of life COPD, and there’s no further treatment that I can have. The only way to save my life is a double lung transplant.

I must take you back to 2016 I was diagnosed with asthma. I started to struggle with my mental health, I was an accountant and I started to sit at my desk staring at the screen and I had completely forgotten how to do my job, and then came the day that I had a complete melt down and lost my job.

I lost all my confidence and became a prisoner in my own home, long story short…my husband started plying me with alcohol, and I began to self-harm with my prescribed medication, until one night in 2017 I did my usual self-harm after being plied with alcohol. I called the Samaritans (as I did quite often) and they realised what I had done, I was persuaded to give them my address and they sent for an ambulance. That night I walked to the ambulance the last thing I remember vaguely was voices stating my possessions. When I awoke two days later, I was in a cubical with a nurse, and was told that I was in intensive care after having a cardiac arrest. This was 2 days before my grandson’s 3rd birthday. This was the turning point and I never self-harmed again.

I had involvement/help with many organisations. I did suffer with panic attacks, and on several occasions, I had emergency hospital admissions to hospital with respiratory issues. Two hospitals in Wales and one in the Midlands diagnosed me with anxiety, but I know my body and know the difference between what I was experiencing and panic attacks. I once visited my GP my oxygen levels were down to 66%, she panicked, by the time the ambulance arrived at the surgery I had already had a complete tank of oxygen. Then once when visiting my parents, I had a severe asthma/breathless attack and my mum sent for an ambulance and I was admitted to hospital.

Whilst in hospital I kept telling the doctors that no-one was listening to me and it wasn’t panic attacks, this time they listened to me, I had the most amazing team of doctors and consultants. I was admitted for 10 days when lots of bloods, x-ray, scans and tests were conducted, and I was diagnosed with asthma/COPD overlap syndrome and prescribed several more medication. The hospital agreed to continue with my care despite living in South Wales, knowing how desperate I was to relocate back to the area.

MIND started working with me, in October 2018 with the assistance of the police, I left my husband of 30 years and my home in Wales….I was scared but free! After a few days of battling with the council they placed me in Emergency accommodation.

I was allocated a flat on Christmas Eve, it was awful. no carpets or flooring, water running from the flat above through my wet room light (therefore it was condemned for 6 months) There was mould in every room which was detrimental to my health.

I divorced my (ex) husband and relocated to my hometown, closer to my family.

My breathing really started to get worse, and I was having more and more admissions to hospital, and was having to use my nebuliser a lot! I was diagnosed with Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, which is a generic condition, Alpha-1 antitrypsin is a protein made by the liver to help protect the lungs, I’m a ZZ, (two bad genes) which means my lungs have no protection.

My lung capacity dropped down to about 30% and I started to have more and more health issues and suffered from malnutrition and was just skin and bones, my consultant stood by my bedside and told me not to even consider transplant, as my body was far too frail to undergo any operation, yet alone recover from it. She left me sobbing on the bed, just thinking about making some memories for my very young grandchildren. I’ve missed out on so much with my grandchildren, their special moments because I’ve been hospitalised, and real feel like I have let them down.

Screenshot_20230713-215842.png

I agreed to a feeding tube, I would be connected up to my feed overnight that would give me extra calories and nutrition, and to eat what I could to get to a healthy BMI

I continued to have more and more hospitalisation, whilst in hospital March 2022 I remember asking for some meds, but the next thing I knew I was waking up in Critical care, I had gone into respiratory failure. This started to happen more and more. I was diagnosed with type 2 respiratory failure, which is when the lungs do not extract the carbon dioxide from your blood which is deadly if not treated quickly. I cannot have any oxygen treatment now as this would be fatal to me. This has become very regular. The paramedics are called by my lifeline, and they are on an 8-minute response to me, by the time I get to hospital I am grey/blue. It got to the point that I would only be home between 13 hour and 2 days before I was back in resus, on the positive side though I do recover quite quickly, therefore my other organs are not being damaged due to lack of oxygen for too long. As I live alone it’s terrifying and depend on my lifeline. Due to the frequency of this happening,

IMG-20220831-WA0001.jpg

I now have ventilators at home which I spend about 16 hours a day on. I get breathless from everything I do, even going to the bathroom! I now have carers to assist with personal care and domestic chores.

In May 2022 I saw my consultant, she realised how hard I had worked on getting as healthy as I could and I had reached my BMI, she referred me to the Lung Transplant Team. I had to have a few primary tests conducted, one being a scan of my bone density, which confirmed I have osteoporosis, I felt like I had fallen at the first hurdle! I have an appointment in January 2024 to commence some bone protection treatment.

2022-09-03-10-21-00-997.jpg

I was accepted by the transplant team for some preliminary tests and following the results, I was admitted for 4 days of full screening and tests, cameras into both sides of my heart which was a bit scary, and all the air flow tests, which shown that my lung capacity is now at 0.7lt and psychological screening. At the end of these tests the consultant came to see me after a joint review of all teams involved. He had to tell me all the risk factors, and how they decide who should be offered a place on the national lung transplant register, there’s so many criteria’s that need to be considered, it’s not a work your way to the top of the list. As they had seen how hard I had worked, how positive and cheerful I am and I’m quite young to be needing lung transplant, they offered me a place on the national transplant list in September 2022 and have 3 monthly reviews to ensure that I am well enough to remain on the list.

I still have many respiratory failure admissions, I was then told that a Respect form was in my file with DNR (do not resuscitate) conditions, I am now terrified every time I’m breathless, which is numerous times a day, praying that today isn’t that day.

A decision was made to address my condition from the asthma side, is it my asthma causing my COPD exasperation? and hence the respiratory failure.  One of my consultants was fearful that the numerous admissions could have a detrimental effect of me remaining on the transplant list. My case was discussed at several meetings with many high consultants within this field, and it transpires that I have a rare sever type of asthma, Eosinophilia Asthma. It was agreed that I should receive a very expensive treatment for this, Benralizumab Injections.

I have an extensive list of invisible conditions, fibromyalgia, spinal damage (I have a neurostimulator), glaucoma, osteoporosis just to name a few, and even the nursing staff state that they would never put my medical file against me, as I’m always so bubbly and positive.

As I have been on the transplant list for almost a year, I feel the clock is ticking and am looking down the route of living donors I’ve been researching this route, which would be as a private patient, not NHS. Firstly, I need to see a consultant, to establish how this process is addressed as it requires two compatible donors.

I am looking for kind-hearted people who are willing to give me a donation to help save my life. My financial situation is not good. I am unable to work anymore, and my income is from benefits, but some of my benefits are suspended when I am an inpatient at hospital. I am living hand to mouth, and had incurred debts from setting up my new home, which are now being managed by an IVA, which I am ashamed about, but I have no alternative option. I will be extremely grateful of every penny donated, to help my journey to a new healthy life with my grandchildren and family.

FaceApp_1658942901889~2.jpg

I have no idea how much I will need to raise in total, until I ha a consultation with a consultant, I have discovered three consultants who conduct this life saving procedure, but currently I do not have enough funds for the initial appointment which is in the region of £300+.

A Call for Compassion

Hi, my name is Maxine, and I am fundraising for my sister, Carolyn Winfield. I live and work in the DFW area as an RN, inspired by my dear sister to enter nursing.

With a heavy heart, I’m writing for a remarkable sister and mother, Carolyn Winfield. Her story of perseverance, devotion, and hardship requires attention and support. Please read through the story.

I am requesting financial assistance for Carolyn as she faces a severe illness, emotional and financial stressors.Carolyn Matthew.jpg

The assistance would help alleviate the financial burden she is currently facing and allow her to spend quality time doing something special with her two sons. As a single parent and the sole breadwinner, she struggles to cover her living expenses, medical bills, and the cost of necessary treatments.

Creating lasting memories and cherishing moments together would be a tremendous comfort and strength for Carolyn and her son, Matthew. And Eric.

In February 2023, shortly after returning to Chicago via bus from visiting a sick relative in Arkansas, Carolyn received the devastating news that she had stage 4 cancer. The diagnosis left her shaken, but she refused to let despair take hold of her spirit.

She continued to be a pillar of strength for her sons, encouraging them to pursue their dreams. With her guidance and support, both young men have chosen academics and are now excelling in their chosen professions. One son graduated in 2013 with honors from Quincy University in Quincy, Illinois; the other is an aspiring Artist and Film producer. I am a proud sister and Auntie to these remarkable young men with so much character.

~From Little Rock to Chicago~

In early 1980 my sister made the brave and difficult decision to leave her childhood home in Arkansas and relocate to Chicago, her then-husband’s home.

Carolyn’s decision was driven by her love for her children and her belief in the transformative power of family. The marriage ended in divorce, leaving Carolyn to raise her kids alone.

Carolyn’s journey as a single mother was not an easy one. In 1987 Her eldest, Kimberly, became ill with rheumatic fever at eight years old. This devastating illness damaged her daughter’s major heart valve, and sadly, in 2010, she passed away at the young age of 23.

jess & Kim.jpg

The pain of losing a child is unimaginable, and Carolyn has carried this grief with her throughout the years. Her unwavering faith and love for her family fuels her determination through hardships and obstacles.

As a brave and resilient single parent, Carolyn worked since 1982 as a dedicated practical nurse, often sacrificing her comfort and sleep to ensure that Kimberly, Matthew, and Eric, growing up in a neighborhood in South Chicago, Illinois, notorious for its challenges, were cared for physically mentally and financially.

Her two sons know their mother’s sacrifices and the immense love she has showered upon them. But for limited resources, they cannot spend the quality time they will cherish for years with their dear mother.

Eric and Matthew are working together tirelessly in the care of their mother because there is no other family support living in the area.

Eric Matthew.jpgWhen considering your donation, please know that any amount is significant and would be greatly appreciated.

Sincere Thanks for your assistance and i will keep you notified of how your donation helped

Help to save my brother’s life with any donation!

Hi,
I am a mother of two. Our family has been supporting my brother through his cancer treatment process but the next steps in his treatment will be more than we could possibly afford or earn in a short time. My husband works a day job for our family. As both of our kids are under school age, I stay with them.
Two years ago, just before my brother celebrated his birthday, he was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer. The best recommendation given was for him to leave our native country and get the whole liver replaced.
We knew this was our last resort so we found a reputable specialist and got our options. He has been through several treatments. He started to get better from the treatments and medication.
Now he is told that the cancer is spreading to his kidneys and he will need injections every 3 weeks. He was just married in February 2023 and the doctors recently told him he has 3-6 months to live. These injections are costly (even in my native country, Myanmar) with each injection costing around $6000 USD.
Any donation helps my brother to get cancer free and live his best life.
In the next few weeks, we plan for him to travel and visit some hospitals to compare treatments in neighbouring Thailand as their medical system is better structured.

Help Evan and Charity Overcome Medical Debt

My name is Evan, and my wife’s name is Charity. We find ourselves reaching out during a challenging period in our lives. Over the past few years, I have been courageously battling Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), triggered by traumatic events from my childhood and early adulthood. This struggle led to an emergency room visit and a four-day stay at Virginia Beach Psychiatric Center in 2021. While there, I received vital care, had my medication adjusted, and began therapy. Although this treatment was transformative, it resulted in over $5,000 in medical debt. The situation was exacerbated by additional debt from my inability to work for several months, forcing us to rely on credit cards to meet our daily needs.

Thankfully, I have since completed an IT career training program and am now on a more stable career path. Despite this, Charity and I are still trying to navigate the financial aftermath of my treatment. We’re working with a nonprofit debt management organization, but our monthly income falls short of what’s needed to make the payments. We’re finding it tough to pay our rent, manage our bills, and afford groceries due to the burden of our medical and credit card debt. Our goal is to raise $10,000 within the next month to help us regain our financial stability. Your kind donations will enable us to settle the outstanding hospital bills and pay off other accumulated medical and credit card debts. We deeply appreciate any form of assistance, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing our story. Your support means the world to us.

Surgery/rent/living

I never thought I would ever be in this position…

I’m only 33, but I’m in the worst place I’ve ever been. I lost function of my left leg, and had severe pain to the point of vomiting, and inability to speak. After being taken to the hospital, and getting an mri, it showed a severe disc extrusion pressing on my spinal cord (hence why my left leg isn’t working).

I’ve been dealing with back pain for over a year, and have gone to the doctor over and over again about the same problem, and every time it flares up, it gets even worse. This time, it’s different. I’m unable to work until I get through rehab and can walk again (I’m a mechanic, I need my back).

I’ve been requesting this MRI for over a year, and they only gave it to me when I was completely crippled. In the last year, it has been months of no pay due to inability to work. My money is running out, and I don’t know how I’m going to pay rent, and my surgery is at the end of August…

I am panicking because I am a hair’s edge away from being homeless, and not because I don’t want to work… I see rent coming up, utilities, other bills, all approaching.. and I don’t know how I’m going to even going to keep my head above water until I can recover and work again… I included a doctor’s summary of the MRI. I would have included a picture of the MRI so you could see how severe it really is, but I have to physically go to the office to retrieve the record, and I’m unable to drive… If I can update this page, I can add the image of/when someone can pick it up for me.

This is very frightening for me, because I grew up poor, started working at 17, and I have no family to lean on. I have no idea what I’m going to do, and I’m ashamed that I am even asking for help… But I don’t know what to do… Until surgery, everyday is bed rest and struggling to crawl to the bathroom. Add in the crying spells and panick attacks, and I’ve reached the end of my rope… I really need help…

Out of Ideas to help our Son

Our 14 year old was bullied relentlessly for two years. We got the police involved when it turned into a stalking case. Eventually we removed him from school (where the bullying was occurring). As a result he has been diagnosed with PTSD, Severe Anxiety/Panic disorder and struggles to be in loud or crowded places. My husband and I have maxed out every credit card we own to pay for therapies to negate “cutting” and other behaviors as a result of his bullying. We are maxed out and struggling to pay our own bills as a result. Our insurance is AWFUL and has paid very little along the way. I briefly quit work to homeschool, provide CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) and basically be with him, because we were afraid he would hurt himself. I have since returned to work, but cannot keep up with the medical  debt created while caring for him at home. He is showing progress now, but I cannot afford to keep everything paid at once. Heartbroken that the “American Dream” seems so very far away when insurance is so terrible. Embarrassed to ask for help, but I would do anything to help him recover fully.

A family in need of Hope for Autistic child

I hope this letter finds you well and filled with the warmth of compassion. My name is Yanique, and I am writing to share a heartfelt story about our family’s journey with our beloved autistic child and to humbly request your support in a time of great need.
Our son is a remarkable 4-year-old boy whose life has been touched by autism. His infectious laughter, boundless curiosity, and unique way of seeing the world have enriched our lives in ways we could have never imagined. However, like any journey, ours has not been without challenges.
For the past 2 years since his diagnosis, we have devoted ourselves to providing him with the best care and support possible. We have tirelessly pursued various therapies and treatments that have made a difference in his development and quality of life. Yet, these specialized interventions come with significant financial burdens that we are struggling to manage.
During our journey, our family has been faced with an unexpected medical crisis, compounding our financial strain even further. As responsible parents, we have done everything in our power to keep up with the mounting expenses, but we have reached a point where we can no longer bear the burden alone.
The total cost of medical bills and ongoing care for our son amounts to $12,000. We have found ourselves in a difficult position, facing the heart-wrenching choice of sacrificing essential treatments for our son due to financial constraints. It is at this juncture that we are reaching out to you, hoping that your kindness and generosity will extend a helping hand.
We firmly believe that with your support, we can ensure that our child continues to receive the therapies and care he deserves, helping him thrive in a world that is sometimes challenging to navigate for children with autism. Your contribution, whether big or small, will make a tangible impact on his journey and offer our family a glimmer of hope during these trying times.
We promise to be transparent with the funds, ensuring that they are directed solely toward our son’s medical and therapeutic needs. If you find it within your heart to support our cause, you can make your donation by using the link (https://www.paypal.me/Yanique286).
Additionally, we would be more than happy to provide you with regular updates on our son’s progress and the positive impact of your donation on his life.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and please know that any help you can offer will not only relieve our financial burden but also bring hope and comfort to our family during this challenging time.
With utmost gratitude and sincere appreciation, we look forward to your kindness and support.
Sincerely,
The Johnson family

Help with medical bills

Hi, my name is Wendy and I am 52 years old. I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to read my request.

I do not normally ask for help because I am the one that usually helps others. I currently have found myself in a financial bind and need to put my pride aside and all people to help me for a chance.

I have had to have had two surgeries and have not been able to pay the balance and have been put in collections with Kaiser. I was diagnosed with Melanoma cancer on my chest back in December of 2020 and had it removed on 1/17/2021 and am happy to report that I have since been cancer free ever sincec the surgery. I had to go many follow up appointments until I was given the green light for a annual follow up. I then had a 8.9cm mass removed from my lower back in December of 2021 which turned out to be a Lypoma and not cancerours which I was greatful for. With all the surgeries, the lab work, the MRIs and the follow up appointments, the bills just keep adding up.

My daughter and I moved home to help my mom so she would not loose her home and now I feel like I have to make a choice, to either pay the mortgage or make a payment towards my medical bills. My mother, my daughter, my nephew and myself all pay a portion of the mortgage but my mom just recently got sick with Phneumonia and I had to take care of her portion now that she is feeling better and is able to go back to work, she will be able to take care of her portion but yesterday my daguther lost her job and we were in the middle of refinancing the house so I could take some money out to pay off all my debt. Now that she lost her job we will not be able to get the refinancing done and I am going to have to take on her portion until she either finds another job or her Unemployment kicks in. It just seems like no matter how many steps forward I take to get my finaces in order I keep getting pushed back 3 additonal steps.

As I stated above, I would not ask for help if I absolutely did not need it. It would be greatly appreciated, I do not want Kaiser to send me to collecitons, but I can not at this time afford to pay my medical bills, the mortgage and my personal bills with the prices of food and fuel going up.

Help Orane Get the Treatment He Needs for Multiple Sclerosis and Diabietes

Good day,

My name is Adrian, and I am seeking financial assistance for my brother Orane. Orane is a 29-year-old young man who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2021, shortly after losing our mom to breast cancer. About 15 years prior, he was also diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. He recently started to receive treatment to tackle both illnesses so that he will be able to walk again, but he needs financial assistance in the amount of $11,000 USD. With your help, he can get the opportunity to bounce back and realized his dream of returning to school to complete his studies to become a pharmacist.

MS is a chronic disease that affects the central nervous system. It can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, weakness, vision problems, and difficulty walking.

Unfortunately, Orane is unable to work and support himself due to the MS and has had to rely on his retired dad, family, and friends for support. He is also unable to walk without assistance. A walker was provided for him as the cane he was given before was not helping and he kept falling. 

Orane is a kind and hardworking young man as well as a loving son, brother, and friend. It would be a blessing for him to get some help to get the treatment he needs so that he can live a full and happy life. For him, MS and diabetes have been two very challenging diseases to deal with. He has had to give up many of the activities he enjoyed and has been in and out of the hospital several times. His most recent was October 2022, when he was rushed to the hospital and later admitted – he almost lost his life as his blood sugar levels skyrocketed.

In detail, this is how Orane describes his present condition. “I have weakness in my left leg, swelling in my right leg, and consistent pain in my hips and back. It has kept me from finding a job to support myself financially and also from volunteering at my local church, where I am very involved and also a musician. I am stuck in bed most of the time and unable to move about freely without assistance, like crossing the road to go to the supermarket and doing simple domestic activities like getting to the restroom in time and helping around the house. It’s like I am chained to my house and bed.”

Orane’s social life has also been terribly affected but he is a fighter. He refuses to let these illnesses define him. He is determined to live a full and happy life, and he is grateful for the support of his family and friends.

 

The funds raised on this platform will go towards helping him receive the treatment he needs to cover treatment expenses for MS and diabetes. This includes medication, physical therapy, tests, counselling, and other medical expenses to get him back on his feet. Your donation will help Orane tremendously, however small it is. Please, will you consider donating today? I truly appreciate your generosity – thank you!

Dangerously Medically Obese needing Rehab at a wieght loss camp

I been trying to lose weight after a stroke 10 years ago. I tried everything possible to control the weight, including going to Mexico for months at a time. I been doing that for years since Mexico has a structure in place with fresh fruits and fresh food cheaply available. Other important factors contributed to losing weight in Mexico such as the heat factor and the lower altitude helps oxygen circulation better and I always came back 30lb or 50lbs less. I cannot explain it because I tried the gym down there as I did in the states. The weight loss was never too significant, but it helped me keep control of my weight. Now I am 56 and still researching a couple of weight loss ranches, one in Texas and one in Nevada but they want over $6000.00 for 3 months and my insurance will never cover it.  I considered Medical rehabilitation but I was told that my insurance will not cover it unless I had another stroke or ER emergency and even then I would need to pay the first $4000.00. In medical rehab, I wouldn’t have the group counseling and support, but I would have control over my diet, doctor and nurse care and the fitness I need.  The fat loss Ranch has those things, but also have the group counseling support and given chores to do. Healthy meals are prepared in my weight loss venture. It is a very fine line the type of Fat Ranch I need. It must be low altitude and the work given must be light duty. I have Edema with issues with opening wounds on my lower legs. In Mexico if I work too hard or walk too far, my leg wounds re-open like fire burning inside out. So I am very careful. I wrap my lower legs but too much heat can perspire my wounds and open them again. So the wrap is on and off, on and off. The battle of my leg wounds have worsened over the years and fought to heal them with doctors every year. It has come to a point that I must have counseling and lose the weight soon or I will eventually die of many possible issues I been fighting with. I get between 380lbs – 500lbs back and fourth during this long battle and I do not know how long this can go on. The only thing stopping me from going to the Ranch or a ranch to get 3-6 month help is money the insurance companies will not cover. Or if I can’t locate funding for the Ranch, I will be put through leg surgery, then bypass surgery . Those my insurance will cover.  I just wanted to try losing it naturally with some help before going under the knife and possibly have complications the rest of my life. My plan was to return to work after losing the weight and go back to college to finish my degree. The stroke I had 10 years ago stopped college halfway through and I wish to return. Helping me pay for the Fat Ranch will not only save my life, but will create another productive life to help others in the future. The photo is me at Half my current.
