Shawn is an intelligent, creative, articulate and kind man. He is American. He was deemed to be an illegal after his marriage broke down with his English wife and deported. Shawn suffers from Deep Vein Thrombosis and is on large doses of drugs to keep his condition under control. Despite this he was forcibly transported back to America accompanied by immigration officers on a long haul flight to Hawaii. His only friend in America lived in Hawaii. All Shawn's family members are dead and he is alone. Shortly after his arrival and still suffering from the effects of the long haul flight on his legs, his friend had to leave the island to look after his disabled daughter. Shawn became homeless. I then lost contact with him for 8 months. When I managed to track him down he was in a highly prestigious college in Orlando, Florida, learning to be a motor cycle mechanic. This had always been Shawn's dream. Whilst either sleeping rough or in and out of hostels in Hawaii, he had a chance meeting with a kind social worker, who had told Shawn about a unique scheme that, if he was successful in his application, would pay for him to retrain. It seemed as if Shawn's luck was changing. Although Shawn was having his schooling and accommodation payed for he had no health insurance or money for food. The drugs he needed to control his condition have all but gone and now he is unable to work or attend college because of the condition of his swollen legs. Sores have also broken out on his legs and he has developed cellulitis, an unpleasant and painful condition. His application for welfare to pay for health care has been in the system for the last two months and he has been told the judge might not rule on it until March but certainly not before Christmas. Shawn doesn’t have until March. He is trapped in his room, incapacitated by his physical condition which is worsening along with his mental state. What food he has had until now has had little or no nutrition and is contributing to his declining health condition. As the only human being that he has contact with, I have tried to encourage him and support him over messenger and even manged to help in some practical ways. Shawn needs drugs for his condition and food to keep him going until the judge rules and the funds and help required will hopefully be there for him. However, he needs it now as he is running out of time. Help to bridge this crevasse between disaster and opportunity realised could be the key to this man's life. I am doing my best to help him. Maybe you can help too. I would be most grateful. I know Shawn would.
