Please Help My Family Through Health Emergency
Donation protected
In 2019, my mother had a perforated bowel go unnoticed and turn into sepsis. She almost died and had to have a $25,000 surgery. We couldn't afford it but it obviously wasn't a question, we were gonna save our mother. That same year my father had a brain injury at work which caused a seizure disorder. That seizure disorder has caused him to fracture his vertebrae 3 times and 5 of his ribs, giving him permanent excruciating back and side pain and leaving him needing back surgery which we can't afford. He has been disabled and unable to work ever since but still hasn't received any disability from the government.
This, along with all the medical bills, caught up to us and caused us to lose our home in March. We’ve been living out of a hotel for nearly 8 weeks. With my dad disabled and me not able to work in order to take care of him we have hardly had enough money to pay the hotel and eat at the same time and are on the verge of being kicked out for late payments. Their health has been deteriorating rapidly and my dad needs the back surgery in order to be on his feet without being in agonizing pain but without health insurance and any money to spare for the doctors we are forced to stay in the hotel until they kick us on the street and find out the hard way what lies ahead for us.
My father worked extremely hard for 35 years to support this family and ultimately paid for it with his health, only to be left on the street fighting to survive. I ask of you to please share or donate anything you possibly can to help us cover thousand's in medical debt, the back surgery he needs to have a decent quality of life, and to possibly get us into temporary housing. Any little donation or share helps more than you possibly know and means the world to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
