Rally for Chris: Medical and Holiday Support

I am coming to everyone for a young family that has had so much tragedy in the last year and most of it in the last month. Tasha and Chris have 3 beautiful children. Chris has been the major bread winner for his family. Chris is 38, and has been on deaths door twice in the last month. He has had to be resuscitated and air lifted. We are so very thankful and give God ALL the Glory, that he is still with us. However, The bills are mounting and Christmas is coming and he is needing some tests that are needed to save his life. Below I will copy and paste a blurb from his wife, about all that has happened. They are having to travel long distances and pay out of pocket for expensive medical care. On top of that, Christmas is coming, and while his life is most important - this family still needs a decent Christmas. I am asking for every ones help. If you cannot help financially, please share the post on your feed so others can help. I have put an amount of 15,000. As everyone knows-this goes fast when dealing with medical. Also if we can get a few sponsors for Christmas for this family that will be great. Their faith in God is so strong and they give HIM all the praise that they are still together for the holidays, but together maybe we can help with some of the other stress and be a blessing to Chris and his beautiful family.

Here is a blurb from his wife Tasha:

Where do I start….

My husband is a master electrician has been for 20 plus years.

September 14 2023 my husband was working at a big health clinic and was severely electrocuted and burned and by the grace of God all he suffered from was nerve, tissue and muscle damage in his right arm. It should have went through his entire body but it went out his elbow and we know God directed it out that way.

Sadly that was his dominant hand and so they told him he would never be an electrician again. Workman’s Comp was an absolute nightmare and wouldn’t hardly do any testing and honest he just got the absolute worse treatment from them. They decided to close the case and medical completely the end of May 2024 and we’ve been waiting a small small settlement and still have not seen it. We’ve been 7 months without ANY income. We had a lawyer helping us but he said Tennessee workman’s comp is a joke and not for the employer at all. We have three children living at home and it’s been very very hard. I am currently unable to work due to auto immune disorders and he was our sole source of income. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse it did…

November 24 2024 he ended up having a severe anaphylaxis reaction and his left bottom lung collapsed. I had to call 911 and by the time they got here his oxygen was 16 and his rate went from 150s to 28. They had to intubate him in the driveway. I was told all kinds of bad news but God turned that all around. He walked out of that hospital Wednesday Nov 27th with oxygen but he came home. We have really no answers except he’s developed severe food allergies after never having any. We know of a few but he has to have an allergist/ immunolgoist see him asap. While trying to get in with them on December 5th he suffered a stroke at home at 6pm. They had to med flight him just a few minutes from our home. We were in the hospital from Dec 5-Dec 12 and it was a nightmare. He suffered a stroke in the left side of his brain and it completely paralyzed the right side of his body. Which tons of prayer and a blood clot buster medication within a few hours he gained all movement back on his right side. Praise be to GOD!!!

We were sent home with 4 epi pens and tons of medication. While there he experienced another anaphylactic reaction and we have no idea what caused it.

He needs to be seen by a specialist immediately so this doesn’t continue happening. The only place we found that could get him in was self pay. With no income coming in we honestly can’t afford it. The appointment is going to cost us $650/$700 and is a 3 hour drive. We are scheduled to go Wednesday December 18th at 9:30am, But before that appointment we have one on Tuesday at 3:30 with a rheumatologist because he has tested positive on a few auto immune tests all a sudden and it’s important we get him there. It’s unheard of for a place like that to be able to get anyone in that soon. Usually it takes 9 months. God opened that door I know he did. It’s also a self pay clinic so we need help with that also. The clinic is 4 hours away.

Just for the appointments alone we need $905

We hate to ask for help of any kind but we are in a desperate situation and so we are reaching out. I’ve had several want to help and this is the only way I know that reaches people. He was able to get on Medicaid due to no income BUT the places don’t take it or the appointments are months out and we can’t wait that long. So that’s why we have to do self pay. Only one allergist Dr in the Tn area is accepting that insurance with the specialties he needed and that appointment was end of March. We can’t wait that long. So that’s why we are asking for help.

This has truly been a nightmare. My husband is 38 years old and I just don’t understand why but God knows what’s he’s doing and we trust him!

Those of you who can give and those of you who can’t I pray blessings abundantly to pour out over your life. Any help is appreciated!

Please just pray for us, this is the hardest thing we’ve ever faced
