I don't want anyone to feel as if they/you are burdened in any way to contribute to my aid; and I absolutely appreciate and am grateful to those who do have the generosity to donate funds and otherwise help me. Please do not sacrifice your own essential needs just to assist mine.
It is your choice whether to give or not; I am totally at your mercy. Heck, if lightning strikes and I somehow win the lottery, I could even start paying it forward, or even back.
