Help with Chris' medical expenses

Donation protected
Hi my name is Amy, Chris' wife. I'm here to ask you all a favor out of the kindness of your heart.

Chris has always had a rough time medically. He had brain cancer at 8 years that later on in life caused him to have multiple things happen, including hearing loss, thyroid disease and constant respiratory infections. He later started having TIAs ( mini strokes) in 2018 and 2019 and an actual stroke in 2021. He since has difficulty walking and eating/drinking foods. He also has developed some vision complications. Because of his dysphagia (difficulties eating and drinking) he developed aspiration pneumonia twice in 3 months as well as incontinence with his bowels and urine. As the sole provider for him financially, not only have i had to cover all our regular expenses, such as rent food and utilities and gas, i have also had to maintain spending at least half of my income finding medication, food to adjust to his current diet, as well as incontinence supplies and overall medical supplies we need to have for him on a daily basis. Since july of 2021 we've visited the hospital 7 times, 5 in which was admitted, two of those admissions were a month long. We unfortunately do not receive a lot of support from his family and my family who are here financially, with exception of a few people who have been there since day one. All of this has happened while being denied for disability 4 times now, 3 with an attorney.

All the funds would go to a fund directly and only specifically for chris' medical expenses and specialized resources ( both food and equipment) to help him get better and hopefully on the mends to having a more better life.. thank you all so much in advance and have a blessed day!
