I used to work alot.back in 2019 I moved to Portland Oregon with $350 and a suitcase trying to figure out a plan to change my life and make it. I was successful
I got enrolled in the Northwest college of construction. While living homeless in the streets I went to class diligently while working temp jobs until I got a job in the construction field. After 3 months I finally did. I started making 25ph plus a $15 pH fringe. It was life changing. 6 months into working covid hit making my company lay off a number of employees due to social distancing standards. I received unemployment until the end of the summer of 2020 where I started working for a moving company and then traffic control. In November of 2021 a friend I went to college with in Arizona in 2009 told me about a job offer working through favorite staffing contracted with OSHA making $75 ph 60 hrs a week all I had to do was get my OSHA 30. I spent the money and took the class and got certified. The only thing is they required me to be fully vaccinated by my first day of work and I had less than a month to do it. So I took the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. The next day I was sick as can be but I recovered I just got a cough that never went away. 14 days later the cough got progressively worse and I started spitting up a red mucus. This was the day before Thanksgiving 2021. For 3 days I continued to deal with the cough and shortness of breath trying to make it from Portland Oregon to Springfield IL where the job was so I can begin working. My first day of work which was a Sunday I went in and my bosses told me because of the coughing I had to go to the hospital to get it checked to make sure I didn’t have covid. So I went and I didn’t have covid but my lungs were 80 percent fluid. I was put into an induced coma for 4 days to wake up and find out I had extreem heart failure. Because of this favorite staffing decided to terminate my position keep in mind I just left everything from Portland Oregon to get there. So now with no job no home and a new medical problem my mother suggested for me to come home which is Grand rapids Michigan. I came home for her to tell me I couldn’t live with her because of her husband so I rented a room from a friend of mine. I went 6 months without working realizing that wasn’t going to work out I got a job working traffic control in Michigan. After a couple of months of working my heart was taking a toll after all I have an injection fracture of 15 percent. Because of this my job had a medical team look at me and said I can not work for MDOT with a injection fracture that low so a week before Thanksgiving they let me go. That December I got a pacemaker and difibulator installed to my heart. So I filled for disability. I finally received it in the end of October 2023 however a week after my 35th birthday on November 14 I went in for a heart Cath and I was admitted in the hospital again. 2 days later I was told I have stage end heart failure. The only option they gave me to live was a LVAD ( Left Ventricular assistant device) but part of it was making me move in with someone who would help make sure I recovered well so my mother volunteered for me to stay with her causing tension between her husband and me. While I was in heart surgery all my stuff was moved against my will out of my friends apartment into my mother’s house and where I am grateful for the assistance now the time of me living there is up. I really need help getting my car fixed affording my own place at least a down deposit granted a year of rent would be great because of my heart condition finding a job is difficult no heavy lifting I’m not allowed to be near electrical currents like no jumping cars I was even told vacuuming I’m not supposed to do because of static electricity. If I find a job I have to only work part time unless it is a good career that will support me the rest of my life but it must have good health benefits and the ability for me to make all my constant doctors appointments. Right now I’m just trying to lose weight so I can get on the heart transplant list. Once I get a new heart I can go back to living my life and working but until then I’m kinda stuck. I only have another 40lbs to lose before I can get on the list but only time can tell how long it will be before I can get a heart. Please help me I have never really asked for help before but right now at this stage in my life I need it my goal would be $100,000 because I know it would keep me alive and ok for at least 5 years while I wait to get a heart which I hope by then I get because the LVAD has an average life expectancy of 5 to 7 1/2 years. I am grateful for any assistance I get and a part time job would be great my cash app is $EvanSpells and the email to my PayPal is evanspells88@gmail.com and like I said if you have any jobs to off I’m good with that to just email me details. Thank you greatly even if you don’t help for at least reading my story.
