My name is Louis and I live in Southern California. I am 35 years old and had worked for a foodservice company for more than 10 years as a dockworker / loader. I suffered from a job related accident and became permanently disable about a year and a half ago. It happened while I was working at my work gathering product in the dry section of the warehouse. As I was getting product to be loaded for delivery, a stack of wooden pallets fell on me. I had crushed pelvis and damage on my vertebrae sections L4 and L5.
It forced me to walk myself with the help of a cane. I am not longer able to do things that I have taken for granted. I cannot bend down, or run, or pick up anything heavy. I have constant pain in my back. Every day I wake up and move around with pain. I have always been a good worker and never complained with my job up to the time the accident happened. I was let go from work because of my injuries and had a hard time getting workers compensation from my job. Even with the workers compensation in California is not enough to cover my day to day debts.
As of January 2008, the state workers compensation cut off my funds because I used up my funds. So, ever since I had to rely on my savings to get by. Unfortunately, my savings are about to run out and it has forced me to ask you for your help. I never considered to ask strangers for help, but I don't know what else to do. I live by myself in a little apartment and I have been falling behind in my rent and utilities. I can't find end to the mounting debts and my savings are being depleted. The only option I had was to get to cyberbeg and to plea with you that I need your help. I may not be able to cover my rent, soon. Sometimes, I don't eat because I have to save money. I did not eat for the last 2 days in order to cover for the cyberbeg space to ask for your help.
It is my last resort right now. So, I am doing what to me is the hardest thing to do and be asking for your help. I am not asking for handouts, but just to get financially on my feet. Any amount is more than welcome, it doesn't matter if your donation is $0.25, $0.50, or $1. Anything goes a long way. I would like to ask you to open your heart and have some compassion. I cannot afford to be kicked out from the apartment and forced in to the streets and being physically disabled. I am trying to be optimistic with the grace of God. If possible, I could count on a little prayer to encourage me and helps me in keeping me faith in God. Please drop my a message at: cochise2010@yahoo.com. I hope to hear from you, thank you and God bless you.
