Medical care and Homeless
Please Help Me Get Somewhere Warm, Safe, and Close to Medical Care
My name is Archie, and I desperately need help. I have no income, no home, and no working vehicle. I've been stranded in Alabama for about a year, and my health is getting worse.
I have severe diabetes and neuropathy, with very little feeling in my hands and feet. I'm dealing with constant pain, serious lumbar spine problems, worsening eyesight, and can only stay on my feet for about 5–10 minutes before I need to sit or lie down. Cold weather also causes me significant pain because of the nerve damage.
My car broke down, and I spent everything I had trying to repair it. Without transportation, getting to doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and grocery stores has become extremely difficult.
I'm hoping to raise $75,000 to obtain a small, modest home and suitable property in Central or Southern Florida, a dependable vehicle, medical care, transportation, food, and other basic necessities.
I don't want luxury. I want a safe, warm place to live, reliable transportation, and a chance to get medical treatment and rebuild my life.
If you can donate, any amount would mean more than I can express. If you can't donate, please share my fundraiser. Even sharing could help reach someone who can help.
I'm asking by the grace of God for a hand up when I have nowhere else to turn.
Thank you for reading, sharing, praying, or helping in any way. My name is Archie, and I am starting this fundraiser for myself because I have been stranded in Alabama for about a year with no income, no home, and no working vehicle. During this time, my health has continued to get worse. I live with severe diabetes and neuropathy, and I have very little feeling in my hands and feet. I am also dealing with constant pain, serious lumbar spine problems, worsening eyesight, and I can only stay on my feet for about 5 to 10 minutes before I need to sit or lie down. Cold weather makes my pain even worse because of the nerve damage. After my car broke down, I spent everything I had trying to repair it, but without transportation it has become extremely difficult for me to get to doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and even grocery stores.
I am asking for help so I can get somewhere warm, safe, and closer to medical care. The support from this fundraiser would help me work toward a small, modest home and suitable property in Central or Southern Florida, a dependable vehicle, medical care, transportation, food, and other basic necessities. These are not one-time needs for me. My medical care, transportation, food, and daily living expenses will continue as I try to stabilize and rebuild my life. Predictable support through recurring donations would help me keep up with those ongoing needs and make it easier to reach care consistently, and one-time donations would also mean so much and help immediately. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing my fundraiser. I am asking for a hand up, and I would be deeply grateful for your prayers, kindness, and support in any way you can help.
