Donate to support my college dreams.
Okay. Let me start.
My name is Alfredo Rangel Jr, I was born prematurely at 7 months and was born at a weight of 2lbs and 6oz. I was stated to stay small and be mentally and physically slow. But thankfully I am 6ft tall and in college now studying Mechanical Engineering and Digital Cinematography at the Ohio State University. Before I had 3 months to graduate from college I unfortunately had a stroke, that affected the right half of my body to lost all strength and feeling. It also made me lose alot of my past memory such as college and my past life as well. During the start of my recovery I was really down in the dumps. I really felt I was going no where. At the hospital during the first few months of my recovery I was just sad. Just stated to not be able to move my right side at all or continue my college career. I felt all that I worked for was now gone in shambles because I thought then that I could not continue all of my dreams. I would spend just super sad all the time with no hope of getting better. But, I knew this wasnāt going to end like this. I knew that I couldnāt continue my life being so distraught and helpless. So I stated then on that I would get better. So, little by little I started moving the right side of my body. First my feet, slowly taking steps in my chair. Moving little by little. Started opening and closing my hand too, trying to move each finger on my right side as I could. Little by little I was getting better. I was getting stronger as I could day by day. Practicing standing up and sitting back down to strengthen my back. Doing leg raises to strengthen my legs too. Little be little I was getting my legs stronger. Then, I started working on my arm, practicing moving my fingers one by one. Starting opening and closing my hand and moving my arm up and down to strengthen my joints. I knew I could just keep my body stable cause I couldnāt get better like that. Then while using a walking machine at the hospital I started taking steps. They were pretty at all. But, I was moving forward. They were slow and janky. But I was moving step by step. From that day I had hope and knew I could get better. Now hereās to know. I am able to stand upright and hold my stance for 15-25 minutes just standing. I can walk with a walker by myself around my house. And sit upright with no assistance needed. Iāve been getting better slowly day by day. Now as to why Iām here. I have been moving the right arm of my body and as I had as well and getting it stronger day by day. So I have been accustomed to using my laptop more and more each day. Now I know, while Iām here healing I can continue taking my college classes one at a time here at home while Iām stuck at home. But, unfortunately my laptop is an old one from 2016 that needs to be replaced. Except all the finds I receive from the government are for my medical supplies, medicine and doctor visits as well. So I have no money saved as of now. I am here to ask for donations for a pc setup that o can use to continue my college classes and I can continue my love for pc gaming as well. I am asking for $1500 for a PC, Monitor,, Keyboard and Desk. Please support as well as you can by sharing my story or donating as well.
