Patrick Spence Medical Expenses
Donation protected
Hi everyone. If you don't know me, my name is Mackenzie and I am Pat's daughter. My dad has been through a lot in the past year, and most recently he was admitted to the hospital for necrotizing pancreatitis following a procedure that he needed in early February for his liver. He was originally hospitalized at St. Patricks Hospital in Missoula, MT, but was recently transferred to a hospital in Spokane for more in-depth care with pancreatic specialists because he wasn't getting better, but rather worse. We do not know when he will be discharged, but will be updating everyone here as we learn more. He isn't up for phone calls at the moment, so please just keep him in your thoughts and we will reach out to you all when we have a chance.
My mom has been by his side through all of this and has traveled to Spokane to be with him while he is there, which has created expenses (gas, lodging, and not being at work) outside of the medical bills that will soon be rolling in.
If you know my parents, you know they don't like to ask for help, but would give the shirt off their backs to others that may need it more than they do. They are the hardest working people I know and have been through a lot in the past year with multiple injuries, surgeries, illnesses, and family tragedies. If you can help at all, it would be greatly appreciated. If you don't have the monetary ability to help, please just keep my family in your thoughts and send good vibes our way.
Thank you in advance.
