Bill Galloway hasn't added a story.
I was lucky to get Obamacare in 2012. My employer split the insurance cost but was a radical rightwing republican and it caused a labor dispute. Where I live is a hotbed of conservatism and even doctors would refuse me service because I was using the federal pre-existing condition plan.
I am only 44 but quickly found out I also had severe degeneration in my left hip and osteoarthritis. The doctor recommended a hip replacement. I had to use a cane at work and when I told my employer about the needed operation he laid me off and filled my position with his son.
This was right before Christmas in 2013 so again I am uninsured. My state has not expanded Medicaid and I cannot receive the medical help I need here for traumatic stress and diverticulitis.
This crowd funding is for shelter and the chance for medical help to literally “get back on my feet.” My parents brought me here in the 1980’s and all my family has moved away and is of no help. Though I can survive here with a meager income from selling things on ebay there are no other employment opportunities for an outspoken liberal.
The total goal of this funding is under $50,000 which would allow me to purchase a very small parcel of land and go towards the move. I have some equity in the small trailer I live in now and would use that and savings to provide housing there while I get established.
By donating even $1 to this cause you can help provide a new future and allow me to get the medical help I am denied in Missouri. .
