Hi there my name is Shane and I'm 38 I work hard in construction and have been trying hard as I can but the last 5 years I have pushed to hard to secure a deposit for a home and it has all backfired and I've had 3 heart attacks in the last 4 i know have a stent in my heart and in February this year I had a 6cm blood clot removed from it so u can see I'm not well and worrying all the time after leaving hospital after being in a week I went back to work 2 weeks after even though the hospital said I had to have 6 months off but I had no choise due to no help .I'm still working and trying to save but most of my money goes on private rent and bills so unable to save much .I'm working in a lot of pain all time but have to just to get by and keep a roof over my family's heads .I've never asked for anything as there's no point I gave up when I was in hospital and I asked the council for help and even the north Norfolk MP .he did right a letter to council with my medical history but council said me having 3 heart attacks doesn't stop me working and they wouldn't help me with money or house .so I'm asking this time before I push to hard and end up in hospital again .all I would love is to have a morgage so my family doesn't have to keep moving .my mental health is ok but feel low as this country doesn't care for people who actually go out to work and then have to struggle in pain every day .please help if you can .I'm not begging and never will but this is the only way I could do it .if I had a lot of money I'd start my own charity to help other people in the same situation as myself but a lot people like me have to much pride so they don't ask .others just play the system and get away with it .I hope my story didn't bore you and I hope to be able to own my own house with family at least this way if anything bad did happen to me my daughter and partner would be safe .big love and thank u for taking time to read my story
Raise money for family deposit for home I'll love to help start a charity non profit for construction workers who have gone through a similar pain as a lot of so called Charity's are very invasive and don't help .I contacted one when I was in hospital and they wanted a lot of details i.e 6 months bank statements proof of this proof of that bla bla bla .pay it forward.i have gave up thinking that this country and politicians will ever help. I've worked all my life never asked anyone for anything until now and now I need it no one cares .my dream is to start a charity to help construction workers like myself have no stress when times are hard as we build homes for everyone and it ain't easy all weathers in pain .as men we are never listened to or helped and just told like myself to get up and work even when u can hardly move .big love let's do this one step at a time . my daughter is keeping me strong saying dad we will be ok one day. be strong your a fighter and it hurts
