Over the past few months, there have been several fundraising diaries detailing Dem’s financial difficulties as well as his successful addiction recovery efforts. For those of you who have been following his story, Dem mentioned that he had a place to stay that was paid for through the end of June but he was extremely concerned about finding a place he could afford in July. Well, the end of June is here, and Dem is about to start a new chapter in his life in Arizona!
Dem and Fluffy the Great will be leaving San Antonio to come and stay with my husband, me and our two dogs while he continues his recovery and applies for a teaching position! Can you please help get Dem and Fluffy on the road? They need gas money, a hotel room, food for Fluffy and Dem plus he will need his outpatient medication. Unfortunately, he learned that the same treatment medication in Arizona will now cost $250 a week (more than double his current cost) so he will need funds for that once he arrives in his new home.
Dem plans to look for tutoring gigs right away but that also takes time to establish and start making money. Arizona is desperately looking for teachers and since Dem is a math teacher who speaks fluent Spanish, we are optimistic that he will easily find a position for the new school year in September!
The best news is that this will be the last Dem will need to ask for help! If we can just help get him from San Antonio to Arizona, we can help a very deserving fellow Kosack reclaim his life and get the fresh start he has struggled to achieve since last July! He has had a very difficult and isolated time during the past year, along with extreme physical challenges related to his recovery and the fallout from a serious car accident years ago, but he’s improving every day and is ready to move forward!
Dem is a valuable contributor to the community. He has remained positive even in the face of all his obstacles and continues to write detailed, thoughtful diaries on a regular basis. Let’s work together and make this transition a smooth part of Dem’s ongoing recovery!!!!
