Section 4: Explain the Reason for this Appeal 

Greetings Sir or Madam, 

| did not respond to the denial letter because 

| was gravely ill with a 

wound so deep the doctors says they could see all the way to my spine. These are the 

answers to the reason 

| was denied. There was questions about my book on Amazon. 

| made 

twenty-three dollars and fifty-two cents, $23.52 with Amazon and zero so far this year. 

| 

authored a book on “Mental Health and Suicide Prevention,” and have tried without any 

success to partner with the federal government. This partnership would not only save lives; it 

would also help to restore my financial independence. 

| was very candid with Robin in the 

Norton Shores Accessors’ office. 

| told her back in 2025 that 

| was going to try to publish my 

book and 

| might not need an exemption for 2026. The company has no tax filing because it 

only exist for the book. The building that looks like 

I own it, is a school, Norton Shores Middle 

School, where we used their auditorium for church service over ten years ago. 

| no longer 

pastor due to my left foot being crushed and rebuilt with lots of hardware, please see 

attachment, My son in Florida uses the non-profit. The only reason it is renewed every year is 

because my son uses it in Florida. The Amazon1099 is included. along with other attachments.

Re: This 

is an appeal for my property exemption that was denied. 

I thank you for 

reevaluating my exemption application. 

Greetings Sir or Madam, I did not respond to the denial letter because I was gravely ill with a 

wound so deep the doctors says they could see all the way to my spine. These are the answers to 

the reason I was denied. There were questions about my book on Amazon. | made twenty-three 

dollars and fifty-two cents, $23.52 with Amazon and zero so far this year. I authored a book 

on “Mental Health and Suicide Prevention,” and have tried without any success to partner with 

the federal government. This partnership would not only save lives; 

it would also help to 

restore my financial independence. 

I was very candid with Robin in the Norton Shores 

Accessors’ office. I told her back in 2025 that 

I was going to try to publish my book and I 

might not need an exemption for 2026. The company has no tax filing because it only exist for 

the book. The building showing is a school, Norton Shores Middle School, where we used 

their auditorium for church service over ten years ago. I no longer pastor, my son in Florida 

uses the non-profit. The only reason it is renewed every year is because my son uses it in 

Florida. 

When no one would form partnership or give me a grant, My mom and I used our credit cards 

to help me to go abroad to seek partnership and funding. Why take such a chance with a broken 

body and no money? Because I was suicidal in my youth Sir or Madam, I went through horrific 

trauma in my youth, and I desperately needed someone, anyone to help me, but to no avail, no

"he could hear me struggling to breathe. The police men told him they heard nothing but he 

insisted that he could hear me. When they opened the door that was the 5th day, I am so grateful 

to GOD to be alive. By this my son and his wife had sent out prayer requests for me. People 

from America, England, Jamaica and Canada was praying for me. My neighbor later told me 

that even someone in Mexico, her friend received prayer request on my behalf. 

My son flew abroad to find me. Him, the American embassy, and the local police were 

searching for me. The embassy called him close to 1:00 am to tell him they found me. When 

he went to the hospital, 

I was in a coma on life support. After thirteen days in the coma, I 

awoke unable to talk, to walk, or use my hand, T was at death’s door. My son told me what had 

happened. Once I was able to talk, I was able to tell him and the doctors about my fall. I can 

talk now, and use my hand. I am walking now but my walking is a bit weak. 

While on the ground unconscious a wound open in my back. It is a stage 4 wound which means 

it is very deep. They could see muscles and my spine. My son and I flew back to America. I 

literally left the hospital in the Middle East in an ambulance to the airport and when I landed 

in America, they admitted me right back into a hospital in Florida. I am now out of the hospital 

and was transferred to another hospital for physical therapy. I am now discharged from in 

hospital therapy. I am at my mom my son lives nearby and my sister also. I am on a one hour 

antibiotic drip for three times daily and a nurse comes in daily and therapy at home also two 

times a week. They draw my blood once a week. 

I am trying to walk without a walker 

sometimes to hasten my recovery so I can return home to Michigan. The business registered 

for the book, only exist for if and when I receive a grant or partnership. That is all. My mom 

and I credit card has done it all with my son footing the bill for now with the promise that if 

and when I get a financial breakthrough both my mom and my son will be reimbursed. There 

is no income. Other thank my social security disability and Amazon $23.52 

Sir or Madam if I receive partnership, funding, grants, do you know what that means? No 

longer is my life controlled by my injury, no longer am I robbed of my financial foundation 

that was bought on by a horrific automobile accident that crushed my left foot and left me 

disabled. Why would I lie when my life would be restored? Why would I not celebrate no 

longer having to ask strangers for help? No Sir or Madam, 

I have no income. Please see 

pictures below of my foot injury, and the new wound to my back, I thank you. 

Kind regards,
