Prayer for Rehabilitation Solutions

Day 2 - Update! Coffee... Strong Heart... HOPE!

"Have Faith, Even when there may seem to be Closed Doors."

Hello Everyone.  Last Night was Rough between pain medicine.  I had my Spiritual Armor on, but it was rough.  Prayers are needed that my doctor can find a strategy to get be accepted into rehab facility.  They denied me due to mobility, but didn't take into effect the challenges I would have at Home by myself.  "Holy Lord Intercede, Find a Way"... I will be here at the hospital at least another day if not longer.  Love you All.  


Additional praise reports:  My surgeon did amazing.  My Leg was super Strong.  He decided to extend the Limb (better prosthetic stability), Limited Blood Loss (Limb was accepting without resistance), the Tip of the Limb was wrapped with additional muscles from the Leg. (This will improve prosthetic fit, control, stability and lack of Pain due to protection of the Bone)... This means that my Limb will be in the Ultimate Shape for Strong Recovery and Balance. Meaning extreme mobility.  ❤️🦿πŸ”₯πŸ™

Day 2 - Sharp Pain but keeping the Spirit

"Lord I know you are with me... Strengthen my Body.  Shield me and Armor me up.  Protect me from the Sharp Pains from the Top"... Thank you for the Staff.  Thank you for the Care.  We will get thru the Night. πŸ™πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

GoFundMe - Help the Paranormal Historian

INVEST IN THE RISE

"Ex Cinere Cum Armis Dei — From the Ashes with the Weapons of God."

Tomorrow, I take a massive step forward. I am undergoing surgery to begin the next chapter of my life as a "Civilian Soldier."

As many of you know, my journey to this decision wasn't passive. It was a Strategic Choice. I chose amputation over "limb salvage" because it is the fastest path back to my mission—leading tours, teaching my students, and speaking truth into the lives of others.

But this strategic victory comes with a battlefield cost. The surgery, the recovery, and the "high-performance" prosthetics I need to return to the cobblestones are not fully covered by insurance.

I need a tactical partner to help me cross the finish line.

I am launching a GoFundMe campaign not just to pay a bill, but to fund a vision. Your support goes directly toward:

  • The Procedure: Ensuring I have the best surgical care possible.
  • The Gear: Funding the high-activity prosthetic I need to get back on my feet.
  • The Mission: Allowing me to focus entirely on healing and developing my motivational speaking program, so I can help others navigate their own battles.

This is not just about saving a leg. It is about saving a livelihood.

If you have been inspired by my story, or if you believe in the power of the "Civilian Soldier" mindset, I invite you to join my supply line.

Every donation brings me one step closer to the podium, the stage, and the tour.

Thank you for being part of the "Armored Phoenix" rise.
