Do you like to see a man hard at work and not willing to give up? Well, I'm not ready to give up on my small business. I need a truck, trailer, and zero turn as well as other tools and equipment. Since my injury in February of 2023, my financial status has sunk. I just went through an extensive spinal surgery to fix the injury. I am wanting to return back to work after my healing time. I am not ready to throw in the towel. I want to be the best Lawn Care and Landscaping business in my area.

I often ponder whether individuals without medical issues genuinely consider the sacrifices made by those with chronic health problems. Society expects us to function and behave like normal human beings, without acknowledging the extraordinary challenges we face. We are expected to maintain a stoic demeanor, conceal our emotions, and persevere through adversity. In my case, I am expected to push forward, hiding any signs of weakness. It is assumed that others' problems are more severe than mine, despite having undergone a complex spinal surgery involving the removal of hardware, bones, and the fusion of my spine with both my own bones and a cadaver's bones, secured with 26 titanium screws and two Cobalt Chrome rods spanning from T2-L2. This extensive procedure has left me with debilitating pain, forcing me to wake up screaming and yelling. I compel myself to rise and move, striving to alleviate the pain sufficiently to render it tolerable. I have had to rely on my wife, Chelsea Jeffries, to assist me with personal hygiene after using the bathroom, as I am physically incapable of doing so myself. On occasion, I have experienced incontinence due to my inability to reach the bathroom in time. I am enduring immense suffering, not only for myself but also for my wife, who is currently pregnant with our child, and for the children we already have. Sometimes, I yearn for the pain to cease, but I am reluctant to leave my children without a father and my wife to care for a newborn alone. I am sharing my story now because I lack a support network of friends to confide in. I acknowledge that I am not perfect, and I have been grappling with chronic pain since 2017. I have exhausted my physical and emotional resources, and the pain has taken a toll on my mental well-being, evoking feelings of anger and weakness. As a man, I have been socialized to conceal vulnerability, which has led to difficulties in my past, including the dissolution of my first marriage. However, since then, I have learned coping mechanisms to manage my anger, and I am determined to persevere for the sake of my family. This time, I am seeking help, as I recognize that I require support to navigate this challenging period. I am facing significant financial hardship, as I will be unable to work for the next 4-6 months. I have accumulated bills, child support, and daily expenses, which will be exacerbated by the upcoming arrival of our baby. I have established accounts on Cash App, PayPal, Venmo, Facebook Pay, and GoFundMe to facilitate any potential donations. I am putting aside my pride and requesting assistance, as I am eager to alleviate the financial burden that threatens to overwhelm me. https://gofund.me/c97e56fd

Happy New Year! As you all might know I am scheduled for my 2nd Spinal Surgery on February 7th. I am staying positive and focused on a speedy recovery so that I can return to business as usual come the start of season. If not I may be a few weeks to a few months late starting season. I am trusting that y'all will be able to have me back when I am ready. I am grateful for your understanding and apologize for any inconveniences this has to offer. Asking y'all to keep believing in me.
