Hebert Family Recovery Fund

Dear friends and family,

Our loved one, Bobby (Bob) Hebert, has been bravely battling chronic pain for years. The condition that caused it, a disc fused to his spine and trapped nerves in his neck, resulted in migraines that tormented him day and night. Despite this, he has always been there for us, a devoted provider and helper and giver to those around him.

Bob recently underwent major surgery , and will likely have to have another, he will not be able to work or receive any sort of disability for close to 10 or 12 months. They are reaching out to you now, in their time of need, to ask for your support and prayers just like they have always done for others.

Bob will be unable to provide for his family for the next 10-12 months as he heals, and the expenses are piling up. They are asking for your help, no matter how big or small, to ease this burden through the generosity of friends, family, and acquaintances. Anything will help them tremendously. If you can contribute, please do so in order to help this beautiful, loving family.

Their goal is to raise $1700 per month to cover expenses during this time, but I think as a community we can come together and get them more, sooner. Right now, they have enough meat and vegetables etc. in their freezer and pantry to keep them going for a bit. However, the bills to meet their basic living expenses leave them about $1700 short per month, that Bob prior to surgery was able to earn. Unfortunately, surgery was the only option to fix these fused discs to the spine condition that has caused Bob so much pain. Bob would much rather be out there working and not asking for help as that is just not his or the families character. I have added Bob’s x-rays to show just how serious and scary the surgery was. He now has cadaver bone along his spine with pins to keep everything in place and hopefully keep the nerves from getting pinched again. The surgery was supposed to take only 90 minutes but lasted almost 3 hours. The Dr. said it was much more extensive once he got in there. Thankful he is now able to get some relief from the constant pain but now have this worry in the back of his head, of how they will survive day to day and not lose everything he has worked 50 years for, till disability can come through or he can get healed enough to return to some sort of employment.

I know many people have been impacted by the Herbert’s in a positive way, and they are really between a rock and a hard place financially. Bob is a loving husband, father, family member, and dear friend to many. He never asks for help so, it is only through the loving donations, gifts and prayers of friends and family, and leaning on the Lord above that they will make it through this difficult time.

They will be deeply touched by your love, support, and prayers during this time of their lives. Thank you from the bottom of their hearts as well as their family.
