Pat Grant's Medical Bills /Furnace
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Pat Grant. I'm 61 years old & live alone. On October 12th of 2015 I ended up unexpectantly in the hospital with a problem with my heart, which turned into a full blown heart attack. I was hospitalized until November 4, when I was sent to a rehab facility, as I was unable to walk from being bedridden so long. Since then, I've been sent back & forth to the hospital 4 times, the last time for pneumonia, where I had to have fluid drained from my lung twice. Each time I've been sent back to the hospital, my rehab/phsyical therapy get's further & further behind. I have been unable to work for going on 3 months now. I have not been given a timetable of when I will be able to be released from the rehab facility, or can resume work. When I do finally get released, I will have accumulated an enormous amout of medical bills that were not covered by my insurance. As an example, my current co-pay for my room at the rehab facility is $157 per day (the insurance only covered the room for the first 21 days). Once I return home, I will need to have extensive handicapper remodeling done so that I can live there. Because I have been having mobility issues (steps are not easy for me) for several years now, I need to have a ramp installed so I can get in & out of my house. The only bathroom in the house is on the second floor, and I need to have one installed on the first floor for ease of access. The floors are uneven & have damage that need to be repaired so I don't trip. There are also some other things I need to repair, such as my front window that some crazy person broke with a board, and replacing my furnace which is damaged and is in danger of emitting carbon monoxide soon. Obviously, the house repairs need to begin as quickly as possible, since I live in Michigan & cannot be without a functioning heat source, or solid window. I do not have any savings, and no other financial resources to draw from. As soon as I leave rehab I will be facing all the medical costs that were not covered by insurance. There is no way I can do this on my own. The assistance I could get from you would be appreciated beyond words. Please help me with what you can, and help spread the word. I will be forever grateful.
