Bundles and Sales

Charity Bundles and Sales
Once again, I’m starting off with my GoFundMe for medical bills. From late October to mid November, I was hospitalized with kidney failure and infected wounds in my lower legs. I’ve been hospitalized three times since with various issues (numbness in one foot, pneumonia, symptoms of a stroke). I’m as okay as can be, but the bills are mounting up and I still have multiple outpatient appointments (dialysis three times weekly, wound care twice weekly, plus further appointments and tests). As I cannot walk, I require medical transport which I’m paying for out of pocket and, frankly, costs me more than my rent. Please consider donating as every dollar helps.
