Kyle's Family's Extended Stay

Donation protected
I am starting this fundraising campaign to raise funds to help with the expenses of living away from home for the parents of Kyle Blanchard.  Kyle  was diagnosed with Cardio Pulmonary Hypertension in May 2015.  He and his parents, Ronnie and Carla, have traveled back and forth from Wichita Falls to Dallas for treatments, check-ups and hospital stays since that time.  He is now at the stage where medication is no longer effective and is in need of a heart and lung transplant to save his life.  He is in ICU at UT Southwest in  Dallas and will be there for many more months.  His precious parents are by his side night and day.  Kyle's medical expenses are covered; however, in addition, to the stress of dealing with this devasting diagnosis, their home is 2 hours north in Wichita Falls so they are staying in Dallas.  Since Kyle is in ICU, they are not allowed to stay in his room with him so they are sleeping on the floor of the waiting room and sometimes in their van.  They have no where to sleep, shower or wash clothes.  Also, they have to eat every meal at the hospital or get fast food.  Even hospital parking is an expense.  Occasionally, they will pay for a hotel just to take a shower or sleep in a bed, but it is expensive and they can't continue to pay for it.  They are searching for a long-term place to stay not more than 5 minutes from the hospital as they need to be nearby at all times.  
Many are asking how they can help.  This is how we can all help - by donating any amount you can to help fray the cost of living away from home.  When an individual is diagnosed we automatically think, " how can I help with the medical expenses?"  But what we don't realize is that the financial burden on the family goes far beyond the medical costs.  
Please whatever you can afford to give no matter how little will truly make a difference and the family will be so eternally grateful.  
God Bless you all!
