Medical expenses for the Simon Family
Donation protected
Hello, My name is Ashley Sharp and I am fundraising for a very special family. David Simons married my best friend, Robin and has been an incredible husband and father to his four children. He busts his butt to make sure things are taken care of for his family and is always willing to help others when needed. If he doesn’t know how to do something, he will try until he gets it. David is the type of man that would give you the shirt off his back even if it was his last one! On October 7th while he was replacing his hot water heater, he suffered a widow maker heart attack. Since then, he has been on a ventilator working towards recovery. They have tried waking him up a few times, but has had some issues where the doctors feel its best to let him rest some more. Today October 14 they took him for an MRI where it showed he has also had a stroke. Doctors are saying it will take awhile to make a full recovery and right now his family and him need as many prayers as possible and will eventually need some assistance financially to help keep up on their basic utilities, mortgage payment, and of course medical expenses. Robin has been a stay-at-home mom since having the children and has done an amazing job! They would never ask for help but to reduce to stress I am coming forward and asking for those who can help to please do so. This family is amazing and their children are having a hard time with dad not being around or understanding the full situation. Anything helps whether it’s a dollar or a prayer. I will try to update when possible.
