Hope and Helping Hands for the Hernandez Family

This is a very hard thing for our family to do but at this time my mother and our family could use all the help, support and prayer thats possible. As many of you may know our entire family caught covid within days of each other the week of Thanksgiving 2021. Little did we all know this would lead to a devastating series of events. My father ended up in St Catherines hospital ICU with trouble breathing 4 days into his covid fight. It was up and down for a long time with his oxygen levels dropping randomly but constantly. After about a week he was able to go to IMCU and therapy was being discussed. We thought we had seen the light. After about 2 weeks in IMCU...he started to decline. He couldnt maintain his oxygen levels again, he was having severe anxiety, not able to eat due to bypass oxygen(forced air) and other issues that arise with an extended hospital stay. He was then moved back to ICU. He is seeing drs for multiple different issues. He now has a blocked artery in one leg and 2 in the other leg causing great issues and these issues are exacerbated by the fact he cant recieve surgery because his oxygen levels cant be maintained. He has beat covid and is still fighting every day. We're trying to keep hope alive and fighting through all this emotional turmoil is taking its toll. My mother recently had to return to work but is being run ragged between hospital visits and her job. However with incomes decreased due my father in the hospital and my mother unable to work her normal hours, times have gotten tough. Between high gas prices and her constant need to be back and forth at work and the hospital, she also barely has time to cook, eat, etc. At this time we would just like to ease some of the financial burden for my mom. Gas is a necessity and quick meals have become a way of life, bills never stop and at the same time shes trying to have home repairs made that are medically necessary in the event my father makes it home to us. This is no doubt the hardest thing in our lives right now but we're hanging tight as a family. Any donations great or small will be deeply appreciated and even if you are unable to donate as we all know times are tough for everyone, please keep praying for our family and share this campaign for us. Thank you all very much. From the bottom of our hearts. The Hernandez Family❤
