You reading this means a lot to me, and I am very thankful for your time. At the beginning of 2024, my father suffered a fall which caused him to go to the hospital. He is in his mid 60s. He has been dealing with arthritis for many years among other health problems, including diabetes and chronic pain. This pain in his knees and legs would get so bad that his walking would be impacted, and unfortunately it finally resulted in him tripping and falling. He had to stay in the hospital for over a month, and then to a nursing home for therapy for another month. Despite him finally being home, his knees were still in horrible condition. If he did not get them fixed, he absolutely would eventually get hurt again, and be in the same situation he just endured. With this knowledge, and with the pleas by me and others, my father finally had the knee replacement surgery he needed for years now. More therapy and pain came afterwards. There was a moment of relief, but he still needed the other knee replaced. He finally got his other knee replaced in August. Throughout these many months up until now, many obstacles and outside problems approached my father. He had to deal with someone using his debit card to make unauthorized purchases while he was in the nursing home. He had to help his mother, who lived in another state, get rid of bed bugs that were brought into her home. He had to deal with his Medicaid being threatened. It was temporarily removed, but was restored. His truck broke down while we tried moving things to sell, which caused more issues with a tow fee. Just many problems big and small that just piled up on my father, who was in a physical and mental state weaker than ever before. I have managed to help my father the best that I could. I helped him with applying and restoring his Medicaid online among other application help, and have helped pick up his medicine for him when he could barely walk.
My father is a hard worker who worked on two legs that, at times, felt like two exploding bombs with every step he took. But with the fall and surgeries, he has not been able to work at all besides the small periods of time before his first and second surgeries. We had to sell some of our own possessions for him to have some money that could allow him to get his needs. I am so proud of him for overcoming his fears and getting these surgeries he desperately needed. But with all this time not working, my dad’s rent debt grew considerably, and now it’s starting to become a problem that has to be amended soon. Fortunately the person he is renting his space from is very understanding and has been very nice so far. He needs to pay around 7 months of rent (each month being around $650, or about $4550) and I would like to get him some money that can cover the next couple months of rent among other expenses so my dad can start saving and get back on his feet.
All this debt and months of hard work unfortunately made what should have been a period of recovery and relaxation for my father into stress and anxiety. I have never seen my father cry for many, many years until recently due to this. I want to help him so that I can help his body and mind heal. I myself have still been job hunting (very difficult), but I have been doing all that I can supporting him and being there with him.
I am here now asking for help. I want to give my dad much needed relief. This year has been the hardest year of his life, and I want to help him turn it around so that as soon as possible, he can be happy and be at peace again. My father was never rich, and this request is not so that he could be rich. It’s so that he can have a normal life again that was taken away from him at the beginning of this year. Any money received after the rent is covered will be saved and used for future rent and other expenses. That would mean the world to him and me.
Sincerely,
O.P.
