The Beebe Family
Story
I moved to Carson City in January 2022 to start new job after spending the last two years in California unemployed due to the covid crisis. Shortly after starting work a medical issue I had with my feet became a big problem. I went to see a doctor and he determined that I would need to have half of my feet amputated due to circulation problems. So I went and had the surgery done and was back to work in 2 weeks. And thought the worst was behind me and I would just need to heal and have special shoes made to help me walk more normally. But as time went on my feet did not heal as expected so the Dr started wound care trying to get them to heal. All the time I was still going to work and making a good effort to get the new job going. After 6 weeks of the wound care and still my feet did not want to heal properly so The Dr decided a couple of surgeries to apply stem cells to the wounds would hopefully get the tissue to heal. After the first surgery things looked promising so the second surgery was scheduled. The whole time I kept the dealer informed and thought everything was ok. After the second surgery and a week staying home to heal I went into work on the 13th of June and after clocking in I was asked to come to the service managers office and was told they were going to let me go due to time missed for my medical problems. Well I was completely devastated knowing that i had spent all my savings to move to Nevada and did not have enough time to save anything because of lost pay from missing work for my medical needs. I have started the process to get Social Security disability but it may take 3 months or so to see any money from them. I'm sure i will qualify have amputated feet. So now I find myself unemployed with amputated feet and more surgeries scheduled in July. I'm a simple man who doesn't have any debt and just need to pay rent while I'm getting Social Security. My rent is only 700 a month and would need maybe 500 for gas food and the extras to live my simple life until I get back on my feet.
