Help for the Smith family
Donation protected
Christmas Eve my father headed up to the roof of his home to do some patch work. He missed stepped while making the move from the ladder onto the roof and fell to the ground breaking his right hip & foot in 2 places. Ponca City transported him Thursday evening to OU Medical Center in OKC for surgery on Monday. After surgery, doctors stated dad cannot bear any weight for at least 3 months to the right side of his body.
Keeping dad down for the 3 months so he can heal will be challenging as he has been the sole financial provider for his family for over 20 years while my mom focused on caring for my 39 year old special needs brother, Kevin. Kevin is nonverbal & does not function well outside of his home environment. While dad is still in the hospital in Oklahoma City, he is already stressing what this accident will do to their family financially.
While my siblings & I have reassured our parents that us kids will help in anyway we can, we know they will need more help than we are able to provide to help cover monthly living expenses for the next 3 months in addition to the new unexpected medical expenses.
My family greatly appreciates your support during my Dad's road to recovery, thank you so much for helping us kids relieve some of his stress so he can focus on healing correctly.
Sincerely,
The Smith family.
