Monthly Expenses for Melissa & family

Hey guys! My name is Kim. As some may know, and other may not, my family had the pleasure of meeting Melissa, Allie and family when both my son Ben and Allie were admitted to McMaster in November 2022. What started out as roommates very quickly turned into a family bond and we became stuck like glue! (Sugarland reference cause well, we love country music). I’m here today, as my unbiological sister and hospital daughter and their family needs help. This past year has definitely been one for the books for them. Allie is in Chronic Kidney failure and about to have a transplant in the next little bit. But, to make things harder, Melissa’s husband Greg unfortunately fell ill himself mid-August, which resulted in a triple bypass surgery on August 22nd which means him being off work indefinitely. On top of that, there is 6 adults and only one full income. Between medical expenses and travel for appts, and everyday living, they have unfortunately found themselves struggling. Melissa reached out to chat and vent, as we do for each other and mentioned how tight things are. I have offered to start this go fund me (with her approval) in hopes of helping them to make ends meet. I know times are tough for a lot of us, but if you have it in your heart to donate to this amazing family who’s found themselves in a time of darkness , it would truly mean the world. Not just to me, but to them 110%. They’re always there for others, now let’s be there for them. Even a share would help!

If you made it this far, I truly thank you for your time.
