Help my grandparents with medical bills

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Hidie. I’m trying to raise money for my grandparents. My grandparents aren’t ones to ask for help they are usually the ones to give their last dime to those in need, which is why I’m asking for them because I hate to see them struggle after everything they have been through in the past 10 years. My grandpa tested positive for COVID and was life-lighted to Iowa City on Sunday night. On top of that he is fighting bladder cancer & lymphoma leukemia, he also fell the other night after coming home from the ER and ended up fracturing his humerous. After going to the hospital the other night they found something going wrong with his kidneys so they ended up putting a catheter in him. They are really tight on bills right now so it’s hard for my grandma to put gas in to drive 2 1/2 hours one way from Webster City to see him & to go pick him up when they are ready to release him. With them being tight in bills they weren’t able to stay caught up this month and the city came and turned their lights and hot water off, so even if she were able to bring him home, it would be more difficult to take care of him. My grandpa worked for the City of Webster city for 36 years, everyone knows him and knows how kind and hard working he was! Unfortunately in 2012 my grandpa was involved in an accident while driving the DART bus after passing out while driving. That was when they found out he had cancer and 2 brain bleeds, he had to have his knee replaced & his hip replaced. And anyone who knows him now knows that he is a different person, he sleeps most of the day and needs help with a lot of stuff. My grandma recently had surgery on her knee and still managed to take care of him full time and also take care of my aunt who is unable to walk and in a wheelchair. Anything will help and if you aren’t able to donate please just pray for them. God Bless
