Help Medical Costs for My Dads Brain Bleed

Donation protected
Hi. You might be here from the semi-viral video on Tiktok making a lighthearted joke about the fact that my dad had a stroke watching the presidential debate last night. This sparked an explosion of both sympathetic and funny comments that truthfully made my night a bit easier. However, after further discussion and airlifting him to a bigger hospital with neuro specialists, we are actually dealing with a brain bleed. This is a bit worse, as it has left him unable to talk or walk. My dad is the only working person in my family, as he worked hard his entire life to give my mother the luxury of being a stay at home wife and mother to me (the only child). I’m glad to receive the support from the Tiktok I made trying to poke fun at the situation, but now that it is a bit more serious, commenters have suggested making a Gofundme. We have been quoted $25k for the helicopter airlift, and already had to pay $1,000 upfront. We have no idea how much more costs will be as he will potentially have a lengthy stay in the ICU, as well as needing rehab, physical therapy, and speech therapists to learn how to function again. We do have 80/20 insurance coverage that has kicked in, but I’ve estimated the suggested treatments totaling over $100,000 or more. Regardless, my family could use some help. Any money donated will go directly to paying for medical bills and rehabilitation, as well as any supplies/clothes/treatments needed to make his healing process easier. Thank you so much for your time. I will post updates whenever I know anything on here.
