I'm reaching out on behalf of Richard, a hardworking man with over 35 years of experience as a laborer in construction and machinery. His hands have built and repaired countless homes and machines, and his dedication to his work has always been unwavering. But now, Richard needs a helping hand.
About two years ago, Richard suffered a severe injury that led to the loss of half his foot on one leg. Despite this setback, he continued to work and push forward, determined to maintain his independence. In April 2024, life threw him another curveball: Richard was rushed to the hospital after discovering gangrene had set in due to his severe neuropathy and a bone infection. Less than a week later, he underwent a below-the-knee amputation on his OTHER leg.
Now, neither leg is functioning well, but Richard remains focused on his recovery and getting back to work. His goal is to regain enough mobility to continue finish work and support himself. Insurance will cover his prosthetic leg, but during this challenging time, he’s been without an income and needs support for his basic living expenses.
Currently, Richard is working on finishing repairs inside the home he rents, which serves as partial payment for his rent. He’s doing everything he can to care for himself, but without financial assistance from the state (he was denied state aid) and still waiting to hear about his SSA disability assistance, he’s facing a tough road ahead.
This is where we can come together and make a difference. By donating or sharing this post, you can help Richard cover his living expenses while he focuses on his recovery. Your support will enable him to regain his strength, get back to work, and continue living independently.Every little bit helps, and Richard would be incredibly grateful for any support you can provide.
Let’s show Richard that he’s not alone and that his hard work and resilience are appreciated.Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
