DNO: The Road to Redemption & Resilience

I am starting this journey with one clear mission: to go from "Down Not Out" (DNO) to thriving. I am not looking for handouts; I am inviting you to join a community built on resilience, transparency, and the determination to overcome even the most impossible odds.

The Reality

I am currently navigating the hardest chapter of my life. After suffering through medical negligence that resulted in a prolonged induced coma, having fallen from highly technical work to living in my car and doing gig work to survive each day, I am now fighting to piece my life back together. Despite last week’s life-threatening challenges and my profound fall into humility through God in returning to the church poor and broken, I am working to keep my head above water, and to practice self reliance, and keep my faith front and center. While living in car in Vegas heat makes my unexpected medical journey that is ongoing tougher, with urgent neuro, pulmonary (from hospital acquires pneumonia), and psych evaluations on the horizon, and I am currently actively managing my concerning chest pain as I seek care for potential lung issues and issues with memory post the coma. These injuries are tough, and were the result of medical negligence in me seeking help through my journey….but Christ never puts more on our plates than we can handle right?

The Mission

I refuse to be defined by what happened to me. Instead of being a drain on community resources, I am pivoting to build a sustainable, independent future. Through my daily broadcasts on Kick and project storytelling on Rumble, I am documenting my life in real-time. I want you to see the raw, unfiltered process of how I am fighting for my health, pursuing justice for the medical malpractice I endured, and retraining for a new career Christ is in complete control of, so I can finally leave the gig economy behind.

This isn’t just a donation; it’s a vote of confidence that no matter how far down we are, we are not

out. Let’s get to work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I work everyday to not be a strain and my greatest sin was pride in never asking for help. Today this changes. God Bless You
