I am not even sure where to begin with this because I am the last person I ever thought that would reach out for help. St. Jude is fresh out of miracles and I have done everything I can possibly do at this point. I spent most of my life as a Police Officer /Detective. After a long career in Law Enforcement I retired and took a position with the State Department as an Inspector under the U.N.. I was tasked with the war crimes unit in Bosnia. After Bosnia I was an Embedded Mentor again with the State Department and was sent to Iraq 3 times. Upon completion of those tours I returned to Law Enforcement for another 6 years and eventually again became an embedded mentor this time being assigned to a Marine Unit in Afghanistan. I did 4 missions to Afghanistan.
After returning from Afghanistan I continued on in Haiti as an embedded mentor to the Haitian National Police in Port-A-Prince. After Haiti I did some time in Jordan training the Palestinian Police on Democratic Policing so they could take over the security of their own country.
Somewhere during my deployments I picked up a liver disease that is terminal and has no cure. I am not covered as a veteran as they were positions under the State Department. My health has continued to deteriorate and I have 2 aneurysms along with a small brain tumor. I have had 4 back and neck surgeries due to injuries sustained while overseas and in Police work. I am facing 2 more back surgeries. Needless to say the medical bills are crushing us and I have depleted all of my funds and we are in danger of losing our home. I need assistance in paying the deductibles so I can have the surgeries and I am forced to ask for help.
Should you find it in your hearts to help my wife and I when I am in a better position, I will return the favor to someone else in need by contributing to this campaign. I just need to get past this short hurdle and I am positive I will be in good standing then until my time runs out. I just have nowhere else to turn. This is extremely hard for me to ask as I have never asked for help in my life and was brought up to find a way, I have tried to secure a loan but unfortunately my credit rating has been affected by the bills.
I pray that you can find it in your abilities to assist me with this endeavor,
