November 2019 began a nightmare. While attending a 6 week carpentry class required to join a local union a strange swelling in my legs became evident. I suspected what was happening. Iwas in denial. Heart failure caused by diabetes and high blood pressure led to kidney failure. Two years later and on dialysis I am unable to work and pay basic living expenses or even dream of seeing the medical specialists that may help me. When I am discharged from physical rehab facility,which I hope is soon, I face an extreme financial struggle. Everyday I ask for guidance and help from God and brothers and sisters from all over for some help at this time. Thank you.
