Help Save My Childhood Home

Donation protected
Summer is supposed to be a fun time for families, enjoying the warmth, camping, going to the beach, picnics, boating on the lake.  This year all of this was put on hold when my dad had a massive heart attack and needed triple bypass surgery. My dad is an avid Harley rider and was not able to ride all summer.  He was in the Airforce and thankfully had insurnace through the V.A. because he is not able to afford it through his job driving a cement truck.  My dad is the kind of person who is always willing to help others, because he is pretty handy with tools, and never asks for anything in return! My dad's job is seasonal, so he did not have benefits and did not receive any pay while out of work for his medical reasons.  Thankfully his place of employment thought the world of him and let him keep his job until he was ready to return to work.  He just went back to work, but on weight restrictions, so can not fully do the work he was previously doing. My mom has struggeled with her own health issues for years and was not able to work for the past 5 years while figuring out how to manage her Fibromyalgia, which is only one of the health issues she struggles with daily.  She recently got a part time job working at the airport, before my dad's heart attack,  and had no choice but to work full time, plus over time, while my dad was unable to work, but still not making enough to cover the bills.  The house my baby brother, who just started high school, was born and raised in will be foreclosed on in the next few months.  I have to do something, anything, to help them! I do as much as I can while going to school for nursing, hoping to be a BSN one day, and working as a CNA at 2 different locations, but it's still not enough on a college kids wages.  They would never ask for help like this, but I can't just watch them struggle, lose our home, and have an uncertain future and not do anything to help them!  Whatever you choose to give is more appreciated than you can ever imagine!
