Sheila Maberry hasn't added a story.
I am Michael Maberry's wife, we have been married for 5 years in October and friends for 6 years. Michael has worked since he was 14. He had a great work ethic and worked not only his full time job but numerous side jobs. He was a mechanic and painter and his main career was for 30+years as a Manager and District Manager in the Grocery field.
In September 2015 his life was changed forever. As he was closing at his new job for the night, two armed men came in and robbed the store. He was beaten for over 20 minutes against the safe and with the handgun. Michael has had both knees operated on due to being slammed to the floor numerous times. He now has black out seizures, some are in the brain and many of the seizures are Grand Mal.
In April of this year I came home to find him in a continual seizure episode. He was hospitilized and in ICU. His hospital stay ran for a week and I lost income due to having to stay with him. His diagnosis is TBI, PTSD and 80% loss of hearing on his left side (we are awaiting surgery on that issue); he will never be able to work according to his Doctors and he is unable to drive so, we have to pay for his rides to therapy, Doctors visits etc.
Our medical bills are mounting and there has been no place to go for needed items. We have applied for his SSD but they are in the hearing stage which can be another 18 months. We have monthly expenses for monitors to keep him safe, and the loss of his income has left us with no savings and behind on bills. We have filed for everything under the sun but we are still waiting, with no end in sight.
Our needs are to pay his medical bills, maintain payment on his fall detection monitor, get him a new cane and pay for the numerous supplements that he has to take. If all bills get paid with this campaign, I'd also be exlploring hyperbaric treatment; studies have shown tremendous results with traumautic brain injury.We are optimistic with quality care and less stress that he will be able to maintain living safely in our home.
