Help the Adams family with Medical Expenses
Donation protected
Many people know our family online as Tatting Corner, or if you're local to Anderson, Indiana, we're the Craft Corner in Chesterfield. My husband, Chuck (pictured above after his coronary bypass surgery in 2020), has recently gone into stage 5 kidney failure (end stage). He is having his dialysis catheter placed today to start long term dialysis treatments. We are lucky in that he has short term disability benefits through work, so we'll be getting 2/3 of his normal salary, and we have excellent insurance as well as Medicare for the hospital stays - but we know that there will be out of pocket costs that we won't be able to cover. At this time we don't even know if he'll be able to return to work at all. There is no cushion to manage the additional medical bills, as I put everything I earn back into the business to help expand it and find new things to offer to you, and the short paychecks will only pay our bills and feed the family. Without your assistance, Tatting Corner and the Craft Corner are both at risk of closing, as I would need to return to the workforce to earn the additional money that the hospitals will demand, and that we don't have the means to pay, even on a payment arrangement. Please understand, Tatting Corner and the Craft Corner are absolutely doing fine. It's just a matter of not wanting to bleed the businesses for these medical bills, so that the businesses don't suffer. We are already being hit with demands to pay current medical bills, so it's becoming an urgent issue for us.
