Support for Family's Medical and Travel Costs
Donation protected
I am seeking financial assistance for my parents and grandfather. During the week of September 23rd, they went on a road trip to Alabama for a family reunion. Unfortunately, my mother became seriously ill with significant kidney and heart issues during the journey. At the same exact time, my grandfather experienced a severe stroke and required emergency air transport to the University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham. My sister and I traveled there to support them for a week, but the situation has become overwhelming and financially burdensome. Both my sister and I had to return home for work. Nearly three weeks have passed, and they remain in Birmingham. My mom has since been released, but my grandfather remains in the hospital. My father is currently managing the care of both my mother and grandfather on his own. They are facing not only substantial medical expenses but also costs related to hotel accommodation, food, travel, and future long-term care for my grandfather. Any financial support you can offer would be immensely appreciated.
