HELP OUT A BARBER WHO HAS INSPIRED SO MANY. As it may be, some of us have trouble asking for help. We feel it leaves us a bit vulnerable, when all we had to do was ask. PLEASE READ: "For the past few years, I've been working, teaching, traveling, raising my two little girls and trying to make strides both professionally and personally In an abnormal amount of pain primarily in my lower back,left leg, and at times nearly disabling entirely. In October of last year I was diagnosed with SEVERE degenerative disc disease. Three discs in my lower back must be replaced (L3/4 L4/5 and L5/s1)Temporary fixes are no longer an option. I've fought with myself about reaching out for help as I have no health care and was too prideful, I thought I could do it on my own. I now know, without the help of the barber community and just humanity in general, I won't be able to continue with what I love most. Life. Understanding humility, I'm familiar with, being humbled, I'm familiar with, understanding defeat, I'm also, very familiar with but now, I genuinely need help. With no health care and no interest in obtaining a lackluster and potentially shoddy life post surgery, I've opted to go with the best. The best there is. Dr. Karsten Ritter-Lang in Bremen Germany. August 10th is my scheduled surgery date and with all (very few) assets I have/had being liquidated and all pride set aside... I need help. We've set up a page (link is in my bio) for donations of any sort. I don't properly know how to go about this nor do I feel comfortable but I'm now in need. The dependency of my business, children, employees, friends, love and life are all at stake. Please consider helping out. I cant thank everyone enough and by all means, please feel free to repost, post the URL over and over again. Anything helps. I'm so grateful and again, I understand now that anyone, anyone is perishable and ultimately disposable." CLICK THIS LINK
