M, a 40 something year old
homeless man, suffers from a degenerative bone disorder (fragile bone syndrome)
currently living in a tent in the woods off Trolley Rd in Summerville. Recently suffered a broken leg and has been
out of work – had to leave “friend’s” house since unable to contribute to
rent. He is now out of the cast and is
scheduled for surgery next week at MUSC to add rod to leg to help strengthen it
from further fractures. Right leg has
been fractured ~ 15 times over course of his life. He had had other fractures
as well. He hangs out at Dorchester
library all day and eats around that area – we got him a gift card to Bi Lo to
get food / drink or necessities etc. He
hopes once recovered from surgery he will be able to get back to work – he is a
mechanic and has a job opportunity at a local junk/ scrap car yard - he hopes
to get in there near future.
Amount: $100
