Korean Adoptee's Perspective on Living with Bipolar Disorder, The Criminal System, & Daughter's Death by Joe Briseno

Joe is a MN Korean Adoptee that has been through the ringer. He has struggled with the recent diagnosis of bipolar disorder and as adoptee adds an ever more complexity to his life. He has made mistakes and learned from them and has been over a year since he has rehabilitated from prison. In the past he had struggled with addiction and is trying to live a more positive, healthier and corrected lifestyle. Unfortunately to add on to his struggle Joe had lost his only daughter who was only 20 years old, last year which was a very painful life changing event for him. Recently he has had dental issues that has cost over $10,000 which was not covered by insurance. And for this Christmas we are asking if you can to please contribute a little gift towards Joe to help ease the burden. If you see this message and even if you can only give a dollar or 5, it will be most appreciated. The Let's Talk About It episode with Joe Briseno can be viewed at KADStories.com Thanks guys.
