I’ve dedicated my life to serving others, helping kids achieve their dreams in sports (mainly basketball). Here I am now at 43 years old, I never thought I would be fighting heart problems. It started almost two years ago when I had my first heart event on the track coaching hurdles. Severe chest pains and extremely high blood pressure led to an ER visit. Further testing revealed that I had a significant block in my LAD (widow maker), which led to a stent. No problem, stents fix this. However, nine months later (Feb 2024) I had another heart event. That led to another cath, which revealed my original stent failed. A second stent was inserted. In August 2024, that both sites had to be ballooned. So now I’m staring at a pile of medical bills, and bypass in 2025 to ultimately fix this issue. As a teacher and coach(I’m primary breadwinner in my house of four), I’m working long hours and cannot pick up extra work to pay medical bills. With the price of everything else going up, I’m unable to not only pay nearly $60,000 in medical bills. Several have gone to collection.
I’m reaching out for help during this holiday season. Anything helps here. My cashapp is $jcarson831. God Bless!
