I died once. The fight to truly live has been far harder.
On March 16, 2011, I was a functioning alcoholic holding myself together by threads.
On March 17, 2011, a nurse was screaming for a crash cart.
My heart had stopped for two minutes and forty-eight seconds.
By every reasonable measure, I shouldn’t be here.
But I opened my eyes — and survival became the beginning of a different kind of battle.
Because surviving isn’t the same as living.
The years that followed weren’t a comeback story. They were a quiet unraveling.
Trauma, PTSD, depression — they didn’t just weaken me, they hollowed out the inside of my life.
I isolated. I worked through pain. I pretended to be fine. I wasn’t.
While trying to rebuild myself, I fell behind.
Medical debt piled up.
Credit debt piled up.
Life costs piled up.
And shame kept me silent — trapped between the man I used to be and the man I was trying to become.
For more than a decade, I survived.
But I didn’t live.
Today, for the first time, I’m choosing something different:
I’m choosing to stand again.
I’m choosing to rebuild my life with honesty, purpose, and dignity — even if it means doing the hardest thing I’ve ever done:
Asking for help.
This campaign isn’t about dreams or extras.
It’s about stability.
It’s about stopping the spiral that began the day my heart stopped.
It’s about giving me the chance to rebuild a life that was interrupted — not by failure, but by survival.
If you’ve ever believed in second chances…
If you’ve ever rooted for someone trying to climb out of a deep, silent place…
I’m asking you to stand with me now.

This is the woman who constantly screams about taxing the rich and how the system is rigged, while she sits on $67 million from a government salary.
Straight-up hypocrisy. She preaches “eat the rich” but became one of them on your dime. Rules for thee, not for her.
WNBA suspends Alyssa Thomas for ONE game after fist to the throat of Caitlin Clark.
It's not enough. These people keep attacking Caitlin and the WNBA doesn't do anything about it. This is assault. She should be charged and suspended permanently. IMO. What do y'all think?
@Hania16836 That waiter expected a 42%-45% tip (estimated). And he had the balls to say this.
$20 in today’s world is actually respectable in my opinion, maybe $3-$4 shy. But not really.
I probably would’ve blew a small fuse and told the manager how rude the waiter was. How inappropriate
A Somali man himself is saying:
If Trump deports the Somalis, other Africans will also leave the country in solidarity.
What's your opinion?
Do you support this or not? "
