Please Help the fundraiser

My name is Bret Hager and I desperately need your help today to make a life-changing event happen. I have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis am now Disabled and cannot work anymore. I still lack the funds to cover all our expenses. Unfortunately I don't have much to offer but some personal time teaching what many things I have hard learned in many different trades and survival Time is ticking - please help our dream come true by donating by December 16th!
This is incredibly important as it will immediately impact the future of our well being and safety. My MS causes me to be unable to do a lot of things that I used to to do. My speech and ability to walk are noticeably impaired, my legs are weak, shaky and I can collapse at any time, feel like they are being burned and electrocuted at random all day, every day. and I have no transportation to my now frequent Dr Appts, My meds for the MS are $4300 for a 30 day supply of daily injections which I will be on for lifs. I am now waiting at least a year for the disability application to go through and find out if I have even been approved. I have been weeks without my meds and need them and a vehicle for transportation as soon as possible. I have always done and been used to manual labor jobs and refused welfare. I can no longer provide for myself and family anymore. I have no choice anymore but to go this route in desperation. The money raised here will go towards a vehicle to my many, many, frequent Dr appts, towards a home for my family and I, and some will go towards finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. My daily symptoms consist of tremors and shaking, painful muscle spasms, my legs feel frequently at random like someone is burning them with a lighter or a cigarette and electrocuting me at the same time. When I try to walk even with a cane my legs try to collapse underneath me. My MRI showed many lesions and my Dr.s put in my report I easily have 20 lesions on each hemisphere of my brain. I cannot expose myself to extreme temps (Hot or Cold) anymore or it will cause more lesions and re-hospitalize me.

I currently rent and never know one month from the next how long I can keep it up.
Please help us give us a stable home and a way to keep up my very important medical needs..”

The upcoming Hurricane (Isaac)

  If you are in the path of the hurricanes planned route,The best I can suggest at this point in time is to remember to check your stocked supplies. Remember you need at least 2 gallons of water per person per day, this includes what may be needed for cooking. If you have a grill stock up on wood and keep it dry in case you need it if the power goes out and you need to cook, boil water etc... Hopefully you have stocked up enough food an supplies to get through and it's better to over-prepare than under-prepare.  Anticipate and prepare for at least two weeks without power, water, or food.  don't wait until the last minute it will be crazier than Black Friday at the stores.. Shelves will be drained, and people will be fighting over last minute basics. Make sure you have enough coolers and ice in case you lose power and your Fridge is full. Remember flashlights, batteries, Emergency radios for news updates, lighters, matches, zip bags in case you are in an area likely to flood, instant "just add water" hot foods, ponchos, tarps and so much more.. You can never over prepare! I would rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it! and most of all make sure you have somewhere secure and safe to buckle down if needed. Keep supplies and stay as high as you can in case of flooding. Please comment on anything you have prepared in case you remembered something someone else may be forgetting. I hope everybody is safe and is ok when this is over.

Be Safe and Happy Prepping!

I have a new link to add for my viewers to benefit from

After some research I can proudly add another link for my viewers to benefit from here!

Preparedness Products


 - Everything you need to cook, bake, light your home,make fresh water, and hear the news.

I also want to mention that I was in the hospital for a short time and I still try but, haven't been able to care for the blog as I was due to medical issues and frequent Dr appointments. I was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, although I have had days where I cannot even move and I am worried about the future of finances and have set up a fundraiser. My meds for MS are priced at $4300.00 for a 30 day supply and I have been told it will take at least a year for my disability application to go through even though I am now legally disabled at 34. I have no transportation to my now frequent Dr appointments and cannot work now to pay bills. All I ask is that anyone who can to get the word out and tell a couple friends about the site and forward this message and hopefully I can get somewhere with this fundraiser. I do plan on contributing some funds raised to the MS Society as well to aid in research and hopefully find a cure and relief to the hundreds of thousands of people diagnosed with this same lifetime disease.

         Thank you,
  Bret Hager  aka "Survivor"

News for all of my viewers..

I have been offline for a while because I was in the hospital for a short term stay. I couldn't walk, talk or hardly function. After an MRI and a lumbar puncture I have just been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis after an attack of sorts and have been classified legally disabled. Although I will have more time to write and give the blog more attention, funds have gotten even more restricted than they were before and physical capabilities have gotten more limited and restricted as well. Please bear with me and my limited capabilities, I will continue on here as much as I can..
