Help Bobby And Linda Mushinsky
Donation protected
I am writing this on behalf of my long time friend Bobby. He's too Irish proud to ask for help, but I know how desperately he and his sister need it. As long as I have known him, he's been taking care of somebody. When I first met him in the early 1990s, he had just lost his mother and was helping care for his father with Parkinson's along with his sister Linda. Bobby later became a registered nurse and has helped countless people in his career. I used to joke with him that he spends his whole day running around helping everybody from people to animals. Especially animals LOL, don't even get me started on those dogs and cats. He is without a doubt, the kindest person I know. If anybody would be there for you in a crisis, Bobby would be. He has always been a true friend to me in good times and bad. I sat with him last night and I felt so helpless, because I am going through my own health problems. And Bobby has his own health issues I cannot share but he is facing vision problems down the road. His sister Linda, who I have also known for a long time, and who also took good care of his father along with Bobby, is much more ill than I expected. Her situation is very touch and go and neither Bobby or Linda are in the best financial situation due to always putting everybody else first. Whatever the future holds, the medical bills Linda is accruing right now are astronomical. Bobby told me he's going to have to work 2 to 3 jobs to help support Linda, who has no income with her aortic valve issues and stroke. And even if he does that, he still has to take care of Linda. If she goes to a nursing home, they could lose their house. And they ARE in danger of losing their house as their credit is maxed out from the past few months. I feel helpless because I myself am on disability and am unable to help. Bobby and Linda have no family or spouses to fall back on. I can honestly say, when the chips were down in my life, Bobby was always the first person there to help me. I think many people can attest to the fact that if they are going through trying times, he is there for them. I think it's time that somebody was there for Bobby and his sister Linda. I would ask that you give whatever you can to help pay for the care of his sister in the future months, as well as the tremendous number of bills, until they can figure out if she qualifies for disability. Linda can't even talk to give Bobby information right now. I may be embarrassing Bobby and Linda by doing this, but it sure beats them losing everything. As I said before, Bobby has always been there for people in the past. Now he needs our help. He has nobody to help him or his sister in this whole situation. Please give what you can and share this post. Bobby always helps everybody else, and I think it's about time somebody helped him.
