I must ask for help, I successfully completed my treatment, but the cost of gas has depleted my reserves. I have been unable to find work as I cannot drive with my broken arm and no one will hire a one armed software engineer! As you can see I am still quite capable, so if you know anyone that will give me a chance, please contact me! Any help is appreciated, donations will go to internet costs, food, medical expenses, and gas to continued doctor/hospital visits. Thank you! https://gofund.me/d5d59582
