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 happened. The incident caused him foot injury. That was not the end of his fate.

Big Changes

After that unfortunate incident, everything changed in his life. He got himself on dialysis with treatment in one of his legs. The man underwent surgeries that prolonged for a year. But the wounds did not heal. The doctors then broke a piece of news to him.

Diagnosis

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 bad”. 

Realization

His whole world turned upside-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 benefits that ultimately got denied by the government. His medical expenses were reaching new heights and there was no source of income to meet them. 

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.

Separation

It was difficult for him to earn for himself, let alone earning for 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.
