My Dad's medical expenses

Donation protected
Ive fought and fought with the decision to create this gofundme page . I am as stubborn as a mule but I got to thinking.....this isn't for me it is for my Dad and if anyone deserves the help it is him!!! As you all know, my Dad has been in the hospital off and on since Jan 31 of this year. The first time he stayed for 12 days with double pneumonia and failing kidneys. The second time was from blood loss and needed 3 pints of blood. The doctors said it was caused by stomach ulcers. The third time we are here only a week later and he has lost 3 more pints of blood. I don't understand how stomach ulcers can cause that much blood loss in only one week. He had double hernia surgery one year ago and the Dr damaged his nerve and now he has permanent pain in his leg from that surgery. My dad has worked so hard all of his life. The past year has really took a toll on him and now he cannot work at all. He hates it. He hates that he can't come over my house and do things for me without being in pain, He hates that he can't provide for himself and he hates that he can't do what he has always enjoyed all his life...building houses. I am asking for help because I cannot do this alone financially. I am a single mother of three and I am doing the very best that I can to take care of his medical expenses and living expenses where he has got behind through all of this. He has no insurance, no savings, no income coming in except SSI which pays his mortgage. I am all he has and I am scared that I am not going to be able to give him the help that he needs. All I can do is continue to pray that It will all be ok. If you can help it is more appreciated than you could ever know and if you can't then prayers are free and we will take as many of those as we can get :)
