Michael Bottom hasn't added a story.
UPDATE: I received the defibrillator on schdeule August 27 with the assistance of an outstanding team of a cardiophysiologist and my cardiologists attending. The procedure went well and I am now home, please note the additional pic I have posted. I would again please beg of you for your kindnesss and generosity where my medical bills are concerned...
My Name is Mike Bottom and on Nov. 8, 2013 I suffered cardiac arrest at age 49. After my death/resuscitation I was placed on life support and went through and continue to have many complications from this heart attack, including congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. I truly need your help with my medical costs.
My medical expenses continue to mount and with this surgical procedure I just had costing approximately 80,000.00 dollars additionally over and above my expenses already, at his recommendation to consider a fund raising effort, I am now here to kindly ask for your assistance. I set a modest goal for this because I am a proud and decent man and I know that others need help too, but even just a few dollars would be greatly appreciated in my continued fight for survival.
I am also trying to get health insurance/SSI as I am now deemed unable to ever return to work, but so far I have been unsuccessful. Being without income for 9 months has left me unable to afford premiums. So, I thank you for reading my story and please know that if you can assist me with my medical expenses, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I ask your your prayers and not just for me. For all who suffer regardless of age and situation.
Thank you so very much.
A very heartfelt thank you also to the wonderful personnel from the hospital and staff of the volunteer office for the incredible support I received and continue to receive with their continued outstanding care and compassion.
