Aid the Foust Family in Tough Times

As most know, my father-in-law, Jim Foust (aka Big Jim), or best known as Papa, has been battling chronic illnesses for many years. He has beaten the odds every time, no matter how much it took him to do it.

Two weeks ago, he had to be rushed to the hospital and placed on a ventilator for a week and a half. He is now, thank God, off of the ventilator and breathing on his own; however, he has many, many new battles lying ahead, with a lot of new complications his body is trying so hard to fight.

With his amazing wife of 49 years (high school sweethearts) by his side day and night, his incredible three children, Michelle, Lisa, and Jimmy, rotating in as much as they can, and his beautiful and amazingly strong seven grandchildren, Lia, Desi, Calise, Asyanna, Celvin, Bella, and Little Jimmy, making sure he knows they are there with their constant visits, video chats, and calls, he has so much love surrounding him and so many wanting nothing more than to have him beat all the odds again.

With Dad's mounting medical bills and Mom's missed work, the financial burden has now become a stress that no one should have to endure. All who know my mother-in-law know she will do anything for anyone and has always had an open door to all those she loves. Whether it be a cookout she prepared with a half dozen sides to feed the neighborhood, weekly dinners where there's always an extra plate, or if you've been lucky enough to enjoy her Sunday sauce, she has and always will give her last to others.

So now the hard part, because watching them struggle is too much to bear. I am asking everyone to consider donating to The Fousts to help with the costs of the current financial strains they are enduring and the upcoming ones we know will be coming.
