Need help to get out of here!

Dear Possible Supporter,

Trapped "Forever" in Medical Rehab! by Linda Keller Cline - GoFundMe

I, Brian Keller, have been inside a nursing home or medical facility for almost two years (since April 7, 2014) after suffering from an infected cracked heel on my right foot from diabetes. In addition, I suffered a stroke from medication and had c. diff, an often fatal bacteria, four times ), which made me relearn to walk several times, which is still a struggle.

Now that I have healed well, I am ready to go home. However, I am unable to get out of medical rehab because I don't receive a government stipend to escape. Yet, I want a job and need to get out of here, At my age, I'm too young to retire, I want to be human again. Recently, I was told by a social worker that my only way to leave was to become homeless. Sorry, I can't visualize living on the streets.

I may possibly die a horrible death. Needless to say, I am very depressed—often wondering when I can escape this nightmare. I fight hard to maintain my sanity, fearing I will be here for the rest of my life. Please God, I often pray, please help me escape my situation.

While I am thankful for the medical and nursing care I received while in various places, I am ready to move out of the confining nature of medical rehabilitation/nursing home facility into a more quiet place. My parents, who are in their 80s, have health issues which prevent me from living in their home. Dad, 80, who is going blind, suffers from leukemia.

My mom, also going blind, has severe respiratory issues My younger sister became a widow at the end of October 2015. She recently had to downsize, move and is now living on one paycheck.Hopefully, a better life awaits. Believing in hope, laughter, and prayer, I would love to live a positive, productive life. At 58, I simply want a glimmer of peace and hope.

My main “goals”, if allowed, is to leave the medical rehabilitation facility before getting other life-threatening issues again. Other things include:Complete my ability to walk in the future without the wheelchair, walker, or even cane.Repay my mounting debt to the medical facilities.Take my necessary, life-saving medications dailyBecome gainfully employed in the future, so I can earn an income andLive in a modest rental, where I can enjoy home cooked food, obtain a few clothes, sleep in my own bed, and start feeling human once again.Please understand. I am typically not a beggar. I simply want out of this earthly hell and pray you find it in your heart to help me.
