The Next Chapter

Happy Saturday OPL Family. As usual, I’m having trouble sleeping. Tonight,on X the vibe and the mood felt a lot more somber and not as lighthearted as it usually is. I could see that when there weren’t any posts on OPL’s X Page of food or pets, it was definitely a feeling of a pall cast over us, undoubtedly due to the horrific circumstances we have witnessed the last few days.

       I don’t have words that can express how much I wish that we could live in America as it was meant to be. Enjoying our freedom,taking the opportunities that living in a free country affords us and achieving monumental things,for ourselves and for others. Honoring our ancestors that fought for the rights we have,celebrating the beyond brave people that protect us day in and day out.

      I can’t and will never understand why these things occur. I do know that I can’t let it change the heart I was born with,and I won’t. I will always have a giving heart,that will care for those I love,and try to be a better man than the day before. I will never stop believing that the good will outnumber the evil,and we will triumph. We all just want to have a happy and peaceful life.  There’s no reason why we still can’t achieve that.

      Anyway, yes,while Karen had a positive outcome with the surgery,we are immediately going to the next chapter. Karen’s next surgery on her arm. The fistula has to be corrected once and for all. If it isn’t,we will have an extremely precarious situation. As long as she has the chest catheter, there is a chance of infection and more trauma.

     Then the transplant MRI September 25. After that is completed, we have to know where we’re going or she will not be placed on the list. I’m working overtime to facilitate that.

     Right now,it’s no secret. Not only did we have to cancel the account that Karen’s SSD $ comes to (Direct Express card) due to a fraudulent charge from a company we didn’t know,we had to pay two weeks rent with her check. Add in storage and phone bills and that’s the sum total of the check. We have to do this to not get thrown out. $1,400 monthly is just not enough.

Literally feeding us day by day. I’m not complaining, but we need just a few donations to get through the month, please. We are close to our goal to get an apartment. We will get big news Thursday (we hope)…

In the meantime, please no amount is too small,help me keep us together and fed, and maybe just it’ll help me sleep a few nights.

Thank you OPL FAMILY. We cherish you.
