Covid-19 relief for Delta Zirger
Donation protected
This year has affected so many people in so many different ways and I have seen so many individuals rise up to help others in need. I never expected to be one to request help.
When Covid-19 started to go around my wife and I took it very seriously. We hardly ever left the house, when we did we always wore a mask, and more likely then not we had groceries and food delivered. We knew if either one of us contracted Covid-19 it would be bad for both of us. We also wanted to protect our family and in home business. Despite all of our efforts we failed and allowed a family member to bring the Virus into the house.
There is no worse feeling in the world then the inability to protect your loved ones. Delta and I have been married for over 23 years and throughout that time there have been our share of ups and downs. I have not always been the perfect husband nor the person Delta deserves, but each and every day she has been the perfect mother, the best friend and always the supportive wife. She found special joy in our kids and grandchildren and would do anything to make them happy. She always put friends and family first and her needs were always second. Her personal joys in life were gardening year around in our greenhouse until our HOA made us take it down and being able to ride her 3 wheeled Can Am Spyder.
Delta contracted Covid-19 on November 14th and tested positive on November 16th. I tested positive on the 17th and 6 other members of our family in the following days. We tried to keep out of the hospital but by the 23rd Delta was starting to become seriously ill. We tried to support each other because everything you hear is people die from Covid-19 at the hospital. By the 27th we were both in very bad shape. I drove myself to my Doctor and was asked if I wanted to live or die. I told them I wanted to save my wife. I was taken to the Hospital via ambulance as I made arrangements to get Delta to the Emergency Room. This is the last time I have seen her. I was lucky enough to respond well to treatment and was released on Dec 2nd the day that Delta's lungs couldn't continue to hold out and the Doctors were forced to intubate her. There is nothing worse then knowing that you failed to protect the one person that makes you smile, that you are completely powerless to change the course of action, and that it's possible that you could never say "I Love You" again.
I don't come to you lightly to ask for help. I believe most of Delta's medical and hopefully rehab bills will be covered, but you never realize other expenses that pile up especially when the two people supposed to be taken care of everything fall sick. I do believe in paying it forward and any funds that might be left over will go towards the next family in need.
I thank you for your time and wish what ever god or entity that guides your life blesses you.
