Greetings

As a seventeen-year old volunteer firefighter I suffered a severe smoke inhaltion injury.

This injury has, over the past forty-years caused many illnesses such as lung infections and tumors through out my body.

I have had many surgeries to date and several more are on the horizon as new tumors/cancer has been discovered.

This has also led to many financial hardships such as a bankruptcy every seven - years because of high medical bills


I am disabled and have been turned down for disability 4 times.

I have been diagnosed, in addition toymamy physical challenges, PTSD, Anxiety, Bipolar, Depression, etc.

Some days I struggle through, others I soar without chsllenge

I find that a good listener, my wife of 40 years in my case, helps with the stresses.
Y counselors are important as well
