I am two months shy of my 60th birthday. I am going in for kidney stone surgery. Because i don’t have any employer insurance, i will have to pay the full amount out of pocket. Working as a janitor full time you don’t really have health insurance. They hire you as an independent contractor unless you work for the state or the city. I have worked my whole life cleaning toilets on my hands and knees.
I wouldn’t say it was fun, but it passes time. However, with the chronic pain of kidney stones not to mention hemorrhoids, i had to prematurely end my days as a cleaner. The constant turning and twisting has been for me, unbearable. I really can’t afford to retire at 62 since i have not made a lot of money in my lifetime. I am asking for 250 thousand dollars to get me through this next ten year period. I have tried to change career fields but no one will even give me a shot since all i have ever done is clean.
I am coming to this site because of the name “Begging for Money”. All my life i thought i don’t need anybody and then you get humbled by life. I was born in Tennessee and moved to Alabama when i was four. All my life, my dream was to get back to birthplace and live my dream in my home state of Tennessee. I took care of both my parents in Alabama moving back from the state of Tennessee. It was the most important thing i have ever done in my life. I would have regretted it my whole life if i had not stood up. After they both died, i was able to buy a modest house in the state of my beloved Tennessee.It is paid for but i won’t be able to keep it with all these medical bills. I will have to go back to Alabama and live in a pool house with my sister constantly being reminded that i should never left in the first place. Ever since I was four, my dream was to come back to paradise. I will never be able to get back again. I simply don’t have the money. Rent is too high and so are utilities. Will i die? Of course not. Will i be living on the street? Of course not. But my spirit will be broken and how happy a life can you lead with a broken spirit? I beg you blessed people, please help me live out my dream of living out whatever is left of my life in my “paradise”.
