Life Saving Needs for Sam & Linda from Covid

Donation protected



Thank You Everyone for all your continued love, support, & prayers for my brother Bob & my sister in law; Veronika's parents: Sam & Linda Ohanian! About a month ago, they were BOTH rushed to the ER with Covid; seconds away from cardiac arrest because their oxygen levels were so low. There were many complications & Linda after having fluid around her heart, recently thankfully has been discharged & is now home. She's on 24 hour oxygen, with not enough strength to move much, on antibiotics, & other medicines to continue helping her fully recover.

In the meantime, her Husband of 48 years of marriage... Sam is fighting for his life in the ICU on a ventilator. He's making little improvements every day, thank God, but as we all know with anyone in critical condition, anything can happen, at any time. With Linda home alone, in such a critical state, their family will need to hire a caregiver to take care of her & everything around the house. Plus, then care for Sam also; when he's stable to come home. Their son, Aram is fur-lowed from work right now; & can go back to work anytime. Linda needs a more permanent help with daily personal living; she cannot really do much for herself but rest, & not move much because this all affects her oxygen levels. Their medical insurance do not cover the bills that are already adding up, along with frequent doctor appointments, medicines, & all the other life bills with necessities that accumulate when people are faced with unexpected adversities. Under normal circumstances, they have everything they need & are able to take care of one another, but this time now, is anything but normal.

When we started posting about Sam & Linda getting Covid & their health updates; people started asking how can we help. Being born without limbs, I know how it feels to need caregiving & other needs met. I wanted to put this together for direct support to the family that is always generously helping others. This is the best way I can think of for everyone who loves them to pitch in & provide them a cushion to have one less thing to worry about. I cannot even imagine having both of my parents sick at the same time, let alone having one of them on life support as well. Their family has been covering everything so far, but it would be so nice to be able to have help. They would never ask for any of this, but with so many people asking them what they can do. Anything at all would be more than appreciated. Thank you in advance & if you are unable to donate, continued prayers for Sam & Linda's complete healing would be JUST as appreciated; maybe even more.
