Help Natasha's family
Donation protected
My sister was diagnosed with covid on September 13th. Since then, she was hospitalized, and was in Carthage hospital for about a week and a half. During that time, she had other complications related to covid. We do not yet know the lasting effects of those complications. On September 28th, after struggling for weeks she was too sick to continue on without more help. She agreed to be intubated, and was transferred to Tyler and admitted into the ICU there, where she is in a medically induced coma. She is making small improvements, but it almost feels like it is two steps forward and one step back. She is fighting hard for her life.
Meanwhile, her husband is trying to hold down the fort, so to speak. He was the financial support for the family for a long time, while my sister went through nursing school. And after receiving her nursing degree, her income became the main financial support while he was establishing his own business. They have essentially went from two incomes down to one plus medical expenses, overnight. They have four children, three still living at home. Between maintaining the kids' schedule, his business schedule, visiting his wife daily, making sure bills are paid and the kids are fed, needless to say, he is under a lot of pressure.
We have had many people contact us and ask how they can help. Right now the only thing I know is that there is a long road ahead, and this is a way we can help. Please give what you can to maybe help relieve some of the financial burden, and if you can't afford to give, please pray.
