Simon Thompson hasn't added a story.
Hey folks, my name is Simon and I have been working as a musician and graphic artist around the world for the past 10 years... I am currently living in Cambodia and up until recently this has been a dream life: travelling; meeting amazing people; learning languages and building bridges through music and art. I like to inspire people with my energy and positivity on and off the stage. Usually it is a tough but rewarding life, as musicians and artists know... it's about finding the next gig! Recently I have had some health issues which caused a collapse for me onstage. After spending a lot of time being misdiagnosed, I finally found a great set of doctors here in the Kingdom of Cambodia, who have their patients best interest at heart. When i could no longer make money by playing music, I used my graphic design to make some side cash, however rainy season has just started here and one of the first victims was my computer. This has left me with no real way of being able to fund myself. Unfortunately now all of this has exhausted all of my funds and I am not in a position to be able to pay for the medical services that I so desperately need. I'm not one to ask for help if I can do things myself, but now I am need of help and that is what I am desperately asking for. I have a stomach ulcer caused by h. pylori infection which after a triple antibiotic treatment doesn't seem to be healing. On top of that I have recurring episodes of tachycardia ( very fast heart beat - 130bpm.) I need to raise about $1000 in total to pay for medical expenses such as upcoming heart tests and an endoscopy to check my stomach, as well as any medication needed. I have been stuck on my back for over 6 months now, and I really am struggling with this as I usually am full of energy and giving time to help others in need. Please, if you can help me at this low part in my life story, it would mean so much to me. My partner Darya is working as hard as she can to provide us both with food, rent and basic medicines.But as it is rainy season now, work isn't as avaiable. I dont really need help to replace my material things, I can use my own energy to do this. But I really need help to get on my feet, get better and get my energy back to replace them. I know that all I need is some medical help and I will be back at it again... that is my natural way. I am a fighter, but sometimes fighters need help - and that is what I am asking for.
