Ridgeway Family Medical Expenses

Donation protected
My sister and her family can't catch a break. From my nephew being in the ICU for months last year with COVID-19 to Beth being currently hospitalized with a pulmonary embolism, pneumonia and a hemorrhagic pleural effusion (which will now require surgery)- the medical expenses and time out of work has been difficult for them.

Yesterday, my brother-in-law Dan was laid off from his job. In addition, my nephew is wheelchair-bound due to injury to his joints from long-term steroid use to manage severe Lupus. This requires Beth to work from home to be his primary care giver.

During her hospitalization and future recovery, she is unable to work or provide care for others, leaving my nephew vulnerable with only the part-time help from his sister and her partner.

With Dan being out of work, it will be difficult for him to find new work since he will now need to act as primary care giver for my nephew and youngest niece.

I am starting this go fund me to help my sister's family with medical expenses, gas, groceries, rent, etc until they are able to get on their feet again.

Additionally, I would like to raise money for my nephew so that he might be able to attend aquatic therapy for physical therapy, which is not covered by insurance.

Everyone falls on difficult times, but they have been hit hard and they could use donations, thoughts, prayers, words of encouragement or whatever you might be able to offer. Thanks so much!
