A rough 3 years

Hi my name is Brandon and my wife is Sara. I am american and she was born and raised in Rome Italy. We met 7 years ago while both on a trip in China. As soon as i saw her i thought she is the most beautiful girl i have ever seen in my life. From then on we haven't left each others side. We are best friends. The first few years were great. We just enjoyed life with no big problems. We got married 3 years ago. The wedding was amazing and we brought our sweet little baby chihuahua named Bali. You can see her in the profile pic from our wedding photo. A week later we went on our honeymoon. The 2nd day into the trip we get a call from Saras family telling us that Bali got loose from her leash and was struck by a car and killed instantly. Our hearts were so broken we had to come home and give up on our honey moon after 3 days. Bali was like a child to us. We loved her so much and all the joy she brought to our lives.

And from that point on, horrible things keep happening to us. I started suffering from debilitating migraines. Some of which would put me in the hospital. I couldn't open my eyes, constant vomiting and unable to stand up. After that another tragedy struck. Sara fell on some stairs while exercising and broke her arm. The bone broke completely in half. It required surgery to put in a plate and screws. After the surgery was a really hard time because they thought that her arm was infected. They made her stay in the hospital 4 days. You can probably imagine how expensive the bill was.

The day after she got out of the hospital i was at home eating dinner and the next thing i know i was opening my eyes to paramedics standing over me and asking questions. I had suffered from an extremely violent & potentially life threatening seizure. When i collapsed to the ground i hit my head so hard that it caused a concussion. I bit through my tongue but luckily not off. I did however chew through the inside of my cheeks. Almost all the way through my cheeks on both sides. I spent 2 days in the hospital running tests and the doctors couldn't tell me the cause.

About a month after that i was in the mall doing some last minute christmas shopping when another seizure struck me in the middle of a store. Again i fell so hard it caused a concussion and this time i landed on my chin which caused my jaw to fracture. After another 2 days in the hospital running more tests, they still couldn't tell me why. They did however put me on a medicine to help prevent seizures. I must take 2 pills a day, every day, for the rest of my life. This medicine is extremely expensive and i won't be able to afford it anymore. I forgot to mention after all this time in the hospital for Sara and I that we do not have insurance. I am an English teacher and the school i work for stopped providing medical insurance. They also cut back on my hours and I'm only able to teach 4-6 hours per week. I would love to get an additional job but the migraines prevent me from doing so. Sara works extremely hard for a university admissions office, sometimes putting in 16 hour days to make as much money as possible. But with medical bills, seizure medicine, apartment rent and basic living expenses etc. We can't keep our heads above water. Im not the kind of person to ask for help unless it is a really really bad situation that i cannot manage. Please Please can you help us. I made a deal with myself that once we get stable finances again. Im going to visit this site and help others in need. Thank you so so very much for taking the time to read this.

Have a wonderful day,

Brandon
