Peter Alexakis hasn't added a story.
Last year, I fell ill enough to take me out of work! I've been living with cystic fibrosis since I was 3 weeks old and carry that disease with me everywhere I go!
As a younger child and early teen, it didn't show that I was different than others, just a bit skinnier and easier to pick on! As I got older though, the infections got much worse, hospitalizations more and more frequent! Never thought I'd survive past 21 years old! But I'm a trooper!
Now, at the age of 40, I can no longer have a job, I spend months and months in hospitals and lungs are only getting worse! And just last week, I got diagnosed with cf related diabetes!
My fund raiser last year, shocked me! Never did I think I can get that much support! Before being told that I couldn't work anymore, I had gotten myself into some big financial problems! Thanks to all those wonderful people, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief for a while!
Now a year later, I have no income other than the monthly disability, which is not enough to survive! My mouth is another disaster as every tooth either needs to be quickly fixed or removed! Estimated cost is around 5000$, as dental isn't covered if you don't have private insurance!
What I'm here for once again is to ask for a bit of generosity to help me get back on my feet! Thank you!
