He revealed that he had to sell his house and car to cover the mounting medical expenses and now, he has nothing left to fall back on.

I have had to sell my house and drop the money so they could spend it. The money has now finished. I even sold my car for 1.5 million, and now at this point if something goes wrong I have nothing to sell for funds. 

He admitted to pleading with his wife not to abandon him, especially since she knew so much about his secrets, his struggles, and his journey.

My name is Don Richard and I believe that fhe endorsement for any marriage from God is 'For better for worse' and most people don't prepare for the worst only the better.
