Help Bob and Lora through this life saving surgery
Donation protected
For anyone who knows them, Bob and Lora are two of the most caring and giving people you will ever meet. They would give anyone the shirt off their back no question, and are always the first there to help when anyone needs it. Well, now it is their turn to need their kindness and selflessness returned to them.
Bob had a stress test done a few weeks ago, where he learned there were a lot of issues with his heart. Since then the doctors have been setting up many follow up appointments to see exactly what needs to be done. Early last week he had an angiogram done that showed he had 3 blocked arteries that can’t be fixed with stints, and will need a triple bypass. Unfortunately, Bob also has diabetes and even though this is a life saving surgery he needs immediately, his doctors are trying to help him get his A1C to a safe level so he doesn’t risk many more complications during surgery. Instead of sitting at home and wallowing, Bob has still been doing everything he can to make sure everyone around him is taken care of while he will be out. Bob works with seniors and his number one concern has always been their health and well-being.
This weekend Bob and Lora went to celebrate their daughter graduating college. Bob had to come home early with their other daughter yesterday, on her way home today Lora got a call that Bob had a scare and had to go to the emergency room. Where they have decided that he needs to be admitted in Mankato until a bed opens up in Rochester, so they can do the surgery as soon as possible. His risk of a heart attack is way too high for them to wait now for his A1C to go down and they can’t risk letting him out of the hospital. Once Bob is able to have his surgery he will be spending a minimum of 10 more days in the hospital and an additional 8-10 weeks off of work. This is adding a lot of anxiety to his heart and mind about providing for his family while he can’t work.
Bob and Lora would never ask anyone to help them the way they have always helped everyone else, so that is what I am here to do. Platforms like this are exactly what the world needs to help people like them get the help they need after everything they have done for everyone else.
Please help if you can and share whether you personally can help financially or not. Every little bit helps.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to even read about these wonderful humans who deserve the world. We will do everything we can to make sure Bob is able to get the life saving surgery and recover the way he needs to, so the world can continue to be blessed with the beautiful soul he is!
