Hi!

I'm Ralts Bloodthorne. Indie writer, husband, father, grandfather.

In Oct 2024 I ended up with a medical crisis that landed me 5.5 weeks in the ICU that I never recovered from. Medical mistakes and negligence and indifference left me with Class-V subcutaneous emphysema that complicated my collapsed and torn lung.

Recently I was sued by that hospital for what they demanded, not in small claims court but in Mid-Level Civil Court.

I've ran through savings, through liquidating assets, and am standing at the edge. Between medical costs, legal fees, and the day to day medical expenses now, I'm down to a rock and a hard place.

With 24% of my lung function left, it's hard enough just to get up out of bed, do my PT, and stay out of bed each day.

Your donations will be used to keep paying down bills, eliminate debt that either existed before I was injured or that I have racked up adjusting to my new normal.

Thank you for reading.
