I am organizing this fundraiser for my dear friend that moved out of state a number of years ago. He is now homeless, severely disabled and is dying because of his health. He is in Conroe, TX with his caregiver in a hotel room currently. He gets SSI but doesn't get the full amount yet. He has to use a wheel chair and a cane. He has liver failure, FND (functional neurological disorder) is a condition where the brain has difficulty sending and receiving signals properly, causing genuine physical symptoms like weakness, tremors, and seizures without structural brain damage. Basically when he is overwhelmed, stressed and having strong emotions it can cause these symptoms. He has other conditions as well. He needs help with hotel fare and food costs so he has shelter until he has a way back to Missouri, which is his home state. Also, food costs and help with Greyhound one way tickets for him and his caregiver to come back here where I reside as well in Missouri. We all have been reaching out for resources to help him but the local resources there in Conroe arent much of a help and some of these programs take time to get him help with shelter, travel costs, etc. The Salvation Army there has already told me he cannot stay there they only let people that can care for themselves stay in the shelter. He is unable to care for himself so thats why his caregiver is with him and will be needing help to come back to Missouri as well. Here in Springfield, MO we have a large healthcare system. They can help him adjust, get him case management and housing, and get the care he needs and he can spend his last days here with friends and family. We are at a loss and desperate at this point. Please, anything donation amount is helpful and please share this with anyone on social media or other means if you cannot help. We understand its a hard time for most people in the US right now. We just want him safe and comfortable during this hard time. Thank you!
