In almost constant pain...and hurt in other ways

The leg that was broken has been hurting terrible for the last few weeks; at times I can't put any weight on it. Going to the doctor isn't an option - he hasn't been paid for the surgery. (See the full story at my GoFundMe page in Announcements if you're not familiar with what happened.)
Also, to be honest, I'm hurt and yes, angry As of right now, almost 1,000 people have viewed the GoFundMe appeal, and whereas some regulars have sent help via PayPal, not one of those who read the story here has sent as much as a dime.
I get it - a lot of people are struggling themselves, but at the very least, you can copy the GoFundMe link and share it. I put a lot of time and love into this board, and I'm getting ZERO in return. Sometimes I wonder why I bother. Most Christian boards as for donations; this one doesn't.
As for the East Ridge Church of Christ (which would be better called the East Ridge Church of Satan) that owns the property where I fell, here's an update:
I have a sign on my front door that says no solicitors, no politics, no religion. One evening I heard a knock at the door. I don't answer if I'm not expecting someone, so I looked out the window, didn't see any car that belonged to any of my friends, and was going to ignore it - but then I remembered that a lovely young man bought the house next door and has been very sweet, checking in on me from time to time. Thinking it might be him, I opened the door, to see an old man standing there. He started in with, "Hello, I'm from the East Ridge Church of Christ. We are a loving church, and I'm here to invite you...."
I BLEW!!!! I really let the old guy have it, telling him exactly what I though of his psuedo-Christian "church." As he tried to get down the driveway as fast as he could, I told him he and his cronies were going to bust hell wide open when they get there, because their own false gospel of works that teaches that "you can't go to heaven if you don't live a good Christian life" condemns them. The members can't say they don't know what happened - I put a review with the story on their FB page. Of course, there has been no response. I tell ya - there is NOTHING I have more than pious, self-righteous, FAKE Christians!
