Short Story

I’m 53 years old, and the doctors gave told me I’ve got the knees of an 80 yr old. I already had two knee surgeries and 1 replacement.
I’ve worked residential construction since I was a kid. My grandfather and 4 uncles were contractors and carpenters. So I grew up packing shingles up a ladder at 10 yrs old.
During the years of building houses and remodeling I’ve busted my body up so much it takes me 20 minutes every morning just to get out of bed and to the point I can walk straight and upright.
Do to working with asbestos for over 20 years before we new what it was, I’ve fought off cancer and I’m 2 yrs cancer free at the moment.
” Prayers to the Lord for that”
At the moment my liver is starting to shut down. My GP saw my body and was so concerned about all the spots and patches that he set me up with a specialist, but I just don’t have the money or time right now to even take off work and go.
I work 2 jobs currently, 1 as a maintenance man for an apartment complex, the 2nd job is at nights at a gas station. I’ve worked 7 days a week over 19 months and it’s really getting to me.
My wife currently isn’t working do to her fight with breast cancer. It’s killing me inside not to be able to take her to her treatments, ( her sister takes her) then when I finally get home she’s so sick I have to watch her constantly throwing up in the bathroom. So I set in the floor rubbing her back and trying to tell her it’s gonna be alright.
I run on coffee and energy drinks and I’ve started pissing blood yesterday so I might have an unclear. It’s hard to tell because my nerves and stomach stays in constant turmoil.
I found this site in the Internet and I’m praying this works.
I don’t know how much I need or what to ask for. All I know is my wife has 11 more treatments. Once a week. She’s already had 1 if her breast removed.
So anyway. If you can help, it would be a God send to me and my wife, and mean more to us than you could ever know
Thank you for your time,
Sincerely,
D. Smith

Lexington, Kentucky, United States (US)

Mid 50’s, broken down from yrs of construction and mechanic work. It makes it hard finding 1 job to pay the basic bills, that’s why I’m working 2 jobs and still can’t make it. Wife is fighting for her life, and I’m working so much I can’t even spend time with her when she needs me the most.
