Bobby & Shannon Rippey Living Cost
Donation protected
Hello Friends & Family! Honestly, I don't know where to start with this gofundme. I'ts been on my mind for a couple days now and after praying and praying that God gives me the right words to say and how to ask for help for the Rippey's. I can't seem to get them off my mind and I hope Shannon is okay with this. Reason I say that is because Shannon don't like asking anyone for HELP. They are the type of people that would rather go without then ask anyone for any help. I think this is what's tugging at my heart the most. I've known the Rippey's for 36 years and they are my 2nd family.
As many of you know or may not know Bobby has been in the hospital for almost a week. Shannon took him to Waxahachie Baylor and he could barely walk and was sick for days prior to this. Despite he already has medical problems this was just one more to add. He had been throwing up and high fever and is a very strong man and this we knew something was terribly wrong. The Doctors at Waxahachie sent him to Dallas hospital where he is now and will be for a little longer. We just found out today that he has Encephalitis which is inflammation in the brain due to hs1 virus. He has swelling in his brain. Doctors are saying that they will need to treat him for 3 more weeks.
Long story short guys....Shannon has been the only one working for years and years due to Bobby's medical issues. Shannon hasn't been able to work to stay at the hospital with Bobby..what any good wife would do. She isn't getting paid through her job and is only getting fmla leave. I couldn't imagine being the only one working and my husband being in the hospital and not knowing how I was gonna pay my rent, utilities and car payment let alone if my husband was gonna be okay. Shannon and Rippey would do anything for anyone and have a huge heart. They would give you there last dollar. If you guys know them then you will know what I am talking about. They don't ask for nothing. My heart hurts for this family...my 2nd family. I just don't want Shannon stressing how she is gonna pay her bills because God knows she won't ask for help. I could ask her until I was blue in the face.
I talked to Stephanie (her daughter) and she said it would be okay if I jumped out on a limb here and asked for help for her mother. They are very humble people like I said and won't bother asking. She said that her bills each month total up to 2,000. So that is my goal is to raise 2,000 for this sweet loving family. Guys you don't know what it would mean to me and the Rippey's. It sure would take a load off of Shannon and she would make it stretch to pay the bills.
Thank you for reading this and God Bless all of you! Please keep Bobby Rippey in your prayers.
