My Nonprofit Reviews

I was a normal guy who went to work everyday until November 16th 2021 that day I had a medication issue and I passed out behind the wheel and went off the road flipped my car full time and got ejected out 70 feet my life would never be the same. I had my spleen removed that day miraculously because a friend of mine seen the wreck on the news and noticed it was my car which I have no family in the state I live in so there was nobody to give permission to do surgery on me so basically I would have bled to death if he didn't see that well he had my mother's phone number who lives in Massachusetts and she got a hold of the hospital and she gave them all the permissions and that saved my life I woke up a week later when I woke up I couldn't move I had tubes coming out of me everywhere I thought my life was over it was one thing that kept me going and that was the thought of my children not having a father and I already had two children at this point with it and I had one on the way the first person I seen when I woke up was my beautiful girlfriend who was pregnant with my third third kid it was ultimately her first but overall it gave me hope about a month later I was able to walk I was able to talk was able to function pretty normally except I couldn't move my left arm all that good I could still feel it I could still move it I can still pick things up and stuff like that they decided that it was time to put a plate and screws into my shoulder and they did that on December 1st 2021 since that day I have not been able to move fail touch pick up or do anything with my left arm the pain has been excruciating I am currently miserable to the extent where I am taking painkillers almost every couple hours of everyday I did not want to do that but it's the only thing that makes this manageable tomorrow I am going into have a nerve block put into my neck that will hopefully relieve a lot of the nerve pain and damage that has been done by the doctor that drilled into my brachial plexus when he attached the plate. I'm an artist I've always been an artist ever since I realized I could draw at the age of five it's been my whole life it's what I've done it's what I've been good at it's what I always wanted to be right now I can't even afford supplies for myself to do the kind of artwork I like to do which is spray painting which is legal to do here in the town I live in at the skatepark so all of last summer kids would meet me there and I would teach him skills and techniques that I have learned over the years and it was a safe and positive environment for them to express their artistic abilities without the fear of getting in trouble now I'm reduced to pen and paper I have a wacom tablet then I draw on a lot that my beautiful girlfriend got me I do have a lot of spray paint still but I have not yet gone out and actually tried to paint because of the weather I believe I still have the skill I believe I have the motivation and desire I just don't know if my body can hold up to the physical demands of actually standing and moving around for hours painting and making a wall beautiful. I've decided to ask a lot of my Facebook friends and family to donate art supplies for kids who can't afford them because now I know what that feels like to not be able to have something that you completely want and desire but you cannot get because it is just out of reach because of financial situations I believe every kid should be able to express themselves in a way that they see fit and if art is what they want to do I support it if acting is what they want to do I support it but for me art is a it holds a special place in my heart because it's always kept me rooted level-headed and has improved my life in so many ways so I will be donating to you guys anything that is donated to me for kids that just can't afford it and just love to draw and I mean that's a passion so I'd rather go without and let another human to something they love cuz that will make me feel good about myself I will be okay eventually and I will get back on my feet to the point where I will be able to get back to where I was with my art supplies and all that it's just going to take a year or two and I'm open to donations myself especially any kind of paint that comes in a can it would positively affect my life greatly but this ain't about me this is about helping others achieve what they want to do in life and I feel like I've had a chance to do a lot and I want to give that chance to other children / adults who just don't have that opportunity I hope you guys read this I hope you guys get something out of it if you guys got any questions please reach out you can contact me through my phone number which is 774 427-9517 my Facebook which is under my name Ryan Costa my Instagram which is thegiftedone1390 or my email address which is walsworthtech1@gmail.com hopefully I'll be able to do some good and support somebody who really really desires the ability and skill of artwork thank you
