A few years ago, I had a very normal life like anyone else, working as a tailor. The underlying condition was dormant without me knowing, until about 5-6 years ago when a severe autoimmune condition (Ankylosing Spondylitis - AS) flared up, causing spinal deviation and neck curvature. \n\nDuring my treatment, a severe personal emotional shock triggered a massive spike in the disease activity, causing the cervical curvature to deteriorate a vertebra and ultimately lead to a neck fracture. Following an initial surgery and physical therapy, the heavy medications required for the rheumatism severely worsened my osteoporosis, causing both of my knees to completely fuse shut. As a result, I lost even the ability to sit in a wheelchair, and for years now, my entire life has been restricted to lying flat in bed.\n\nAbout a year and a half ago, due to severe osteoporosis, a series of hard sneezes caused a hip dislocation. Accustomed to constant pain, I didn't realize it immediately, causing the joint to heal abnormally. Doctors have stated that I urgently need total joint replacement surgeries for both knees and my hip. However, due to zero savings and financial distress, I cannot even afford my daily maintenance medications.\n\nRight now, my most critical and life-threatening issue is the neck fracture. According to the doctor's emergency note, I must be hospitalized within the next 10 days for urgent surgery to prevent spinal cord damage and asphyxiation. Considering the heavy hospital bills, the emergency neck surgery itself, and the essential post-operative physical therapy and rehabilitation sessions, I need a total of approximately $3,500. My ongoing monthly medical and transport expenses are $100, and future joint replacement surgeries will require an estimated $5,000.\n\nFurthermore, the economic situation in Iran is extremely dire due to hyperinflation and the fallout from war and conflict. I receive no meaningful local support; my entire income is an $18 monthly caregiving allowance from local welfare, which barely covers a few days of medication. Additionally, due to severe international financial sanctions,which you are likely familiar with, I am completely cut off from traditional banking systems and international aid organizations. \n\nUnder these circumstances, the Bitcoin network and digital currencies represent the only viable and secure way for me to receive international support from kind individuals like you.\n\nTime is of the essence, and any delay in my neck surgery poses a direct threat to my life. I humbly ask for your help through donations or by sharing my story to give me a second chance at life. Thank you for your kindness and support.\n\n", "sig": "4b867bb39205e7b0aa1b0742e58ede341381eb440738258c5d19e8091fe72bd1661d478ba2fd03dc976ce63afd05e4334020cb456d0fbf1a9f73760c0eec4fd4" }
