Loren Krytzer

Life was very different for Loren Krytzer before 2007. He used to work in carpentry and was freelancing. Things were right on the track until a car accident hit him hard. A car collided with the back of his car at the time he was driving it. The accident caused him severe foot injury. That was not the end of his misery.

Drastic Changes

After that unfortunate crash, everything changed in his life. He got himself on dialysis with nerve damages in one of his legs. The man underwent many surgeries that prolonged for a year. But the wounds did not heal. In fact, it was getting worse with time. The doctors then broke a very disturbing piece of news to him.

Bad News

He had got inflicted with microfractures that did not heal and in order to avoid further damage, the doctor advised for amputation. Krytzer remembers, “I kept trying to do the best I could, and finally it got so bad they said, ‘We have to cut your foot off.’”

Losing Everything

His whole world had come crashing down. The man had lost his foot which meant he cannot continue with his previous work anymore. However, he still had to find a way to make money. He applied for disability benefits that ultimately got struck down by the government. His medical expenses were reaching new heights and there was no source of income to meet them.        

Hard Decisions

It is because of that Krytzer had to do a few things that he did not want to. His decisions did not only affect him but his family members as well. The people he loved the most in the world. It was truly heart-breaking.  

Separation

It was difficult for him to feed himself, let alone feeding his family and that is why he decided to send his three children away to Louisiana, his grandparents’ place. “I mean, what do you do?” “I had kids to take care of, no money, you know? Nothing saved up or nothing like that,” Krytzer implied.
