I could use any donations anyone of you cuemakers could offer.!.
I have listed my medical situation and what I have been doing to help out my local senior center and Boys and Girls clubs in Tampa and St. Petersberg Florida.
I am going threough major medical treatment for a Stap-Auerus Bone Infection, which has gotten so bad that the surgeons had to do what is called a 'Girdlestone' surgery, I had a total hip replacement in my right side but after 8 surgeries and infection treatments they had to completely remove my right hip so I cant walk and for the most part am isolated to a bed or a special built chair.
I have been keeping the upper body and dexterity by doing cue repairs and modifications on a home made built lathe I put togther, it is crude but it works.
What I am asking for is any supplies or parts for the lathe or for the parts for doing repairs or modifications. I donate all my services and try to return the donations that people have made to the community.
I do all the repairs and maintenance for Tampa Senior Center, The St. PEte Boys and Girls Club, also in Largo, Clearwater, and Brandon.
I received only a small amount of disability each month and I now can't afford to buy any parts so I am reaching out to others that might be doing ok, or have been treated well through this site and ask for a Pay-It-Forward type of situation.
In the past I have given away things to people and asked nothing in return, so i hope that there are some people out there that can lend a hand until my situation improves and I can again be the giver instead of the receiver
My address is
Michael Kennedy
7100 Ulmerton Road Lot #136
Largo, FL 33771
You can send anything to that address,
I also have multiple ads I have posted, to sell a lot of things I have colledcted in teh pool world over the years.
I need to sell atleast, $1400.00 this month because that is how much the Vancomyacin Antibiotics I have to pay for, and that is for 30 day supply, Next month, i have to do the same medication through my PICC line, I am doing all the infusion by myself, because I can't afford to pay for the nursing staff to come out each day, so I am doing as much as I can to minimize the money I have to pay out of pocket, since I have no savings anymore.
Believe it or not, since this started, I have maxed out my Insurance coverage which was 2 million dollars, that is gone, I went through over a million dollars of my own monies and 2 pieces of property and now I have no savings and have to pay for these medications each month out of pocket and if I dont pay they dont deliver them, is that sick or what??
Anyway, that is my sitution and believe me I would be asking for help, if I didn't really need the help.
Let me know what all of you can do,any little bit will be helpful and I would be most grateful and appreciative.
Take Care, God Bless, and Wishing the Best of Health for Everyone
