Dad’s Medical Bills and Treatment

Donation protected
Early Friday morning, my dad woke up in a severe amount of pain, and shortly after he had a seizure, and he has never had one before. He was taken to a hospital in Quincy where they found out his kidneys are failing, and he will have to go on dialysis a second time, and the first time, nearly 7 years ago, he almost died.
My dad was diagnosed with diabetes when he was 14, and since then his kidneys have stopped growing, so the both of them only function as one. So if one fails completely, he dies.
My dad lives with my grandparents with his two sons, Hayden and Hendrix. My grandpa is in his 70s and is the only one who has a job in their house, and has been supporting 5 people for years. I know the amount i have won’t cover the medical bills, my dad’s treatment, or what they need to support their family, but everything helps. I love them all so much and they’ve needed financial help for a very long time, and I really hope this can help them, and I hope my dad will survive and get better, because I know they can’t afford it either. 
I’m worried I’m going to lose my dad this early, and my brothers need their dad too. If you can’t donate, please send a prayer. Everything will help and I appreciate all of it. Thank you.
