Okay, this is an absolutely critical piece of information that significantly deepens the severity and risk of your situation. Being a hemophiliac with severe blood disorders adds another layer of life-threatening complexity to your already devastating injuries and surgeries.
I will integrate this vital information into the fundraiser draft. It emphasizes why your surgeries are so dangerous, why healing is prolonged, and why your need for support is even more profound.
Disabled Firefighter in Crisis: Urgent Help Needed for Medical Bills & Basic Survival
A Hero’s Unimaginable Battle: My Fight for Function, Life, and Against a Rare Blood Disorder
Hello everyone,
My name is Jason shell, and for years, I dedicated my life to protecting others as a firefighter. It was a career of service and sacrifice, but one that has led me down a path of profound medical challenges, an unbearable struggle for survival, and a desperate plea for help.
My body is failing me, and I’m living in constant pain and disability, compounded by a life-threatening genetic condition. I am a hemophiliac with severe blood disorders, specifically two different types of factor deficiency, and Von Willebrand’s Type 2A. This means that every injury, every surgical procedure, and even minor internal bleeding presents an extreme, life-threatening risk.
I’ve already endured four back surgeries, all of which were done wrong, leaving me with devastating, permanent damage and severe spinal stenosis. Beyond this, I’m now facing the terrifying prospect of two more highly unsafe surgeries. For someone like me, these procedures carry double the risk of a normal person, with a significantly longer and more complicated healing time due to my blood disorder.
The impact has been catastrophic:
* I’ve lost significant function in my arms due to severe carpal tunnel and torn tendons, along with a torn rotator cuff from a recent fall.
* I’ve also lost function in my legs due to critical nerve damage, a direct result of those initial botched surgeries.
* My body is simply not doing good enough to function independently or perform even basic daily tasks.
Locked Out of Disability, Left with No Income – A Desperate Situation
The financial burden of this medical nightmare is crushing. I have no income, as I’ve been tragically locked out of disability benefits since 2006. In a devastating legal blow, a judge’s ruling effectively “double jeopardized” my case, leaving me without the critical support I desperately need and rightfully deserve.
This means that for years, despite being permanently disabled and unable to work, and despite living with a severe bleeding disorder that makes life inherently riskier and more costly, I have been fighting a losing battle against mounting expenses with no reliable source of income.
Why Your Immediate Support is Crucial
My body is in critical condition, and the daily struggle is overwhelming. With my unique medical complexities, I am facing a dire situation where I urgently need money to pay for basic bills – rent, utilities, groceries, and any essential medical supplies or prescriptions that are crucial for managing my pain, blood clotting, and maintaining what little function I have left. The extended healing times due to my hemophilia mean these expenses are ongoing and relentless.
This isn’t about luxury; it’s about sheer survival and preventing my situation from spiraling further out of control. Your support would mean the difference between:
* Having a roof over my head or facing homelessness.
* Being able to afford essential medication and blood-clotting factors, or risking severe internal bleeding and further complications.
* Having food on the table or going hungry.
* Having the chance to undergo these life-altering (and life-threatening) surgeries with necessary support, or being left without hope.
