Help Jay's Recovery

Hiiiii.

As many of you know my dad, Jay, has been very ill since mid- December with pneumonia. (then caught the C word on top of that) He has been in the hospital since Christmas day fighting to get better, fighting for his life quite literally...and this man told me yesterday how much he was already getting stressed out about finances, medical bills and knowing he'll have to go back to work before he's completely healed because he cannot afford to take that much time off work...... WHATTTTTT??!!! The ONLY THING he should be focusing on right now is getting better, that's it! But I understand why he has these concerns as he's the sole provider for my step-mom and younger brothers. It breaks my heart seeing him so ill he cant even breathe properly on his own- all the while stressed out in the back of his mind about finances.

(I know that this is the harsh reality for so many people and its incredibly heartbreaking)

SO HERE WE ARE!!!!!

If you know me, you know my daddy is my ACE. I would breathe for him if I could, I would give him every penny I have to my name if I could, I would be there for him in the hospital all day everyday if I could, but I cant. And it sucks that I cant. But this, THIS I can do.

I am starting this fundraiser for him to help with his medical bills, food and groceries for my step mom and brothers, to help with the care he's going to need when he gets out of the hospital and ultimately so he can stop stressing and put what little energy he does have into getting better. I've never been so close to/ terrified of loosing my dad before and the thought of him having to risk his health to go back to work after everything he's going through is too much.

My dad needs more than I alone can offer him, so I'm asking my friends and family to help me help him. I want him to be able to shift his focus inward on healing his body so he can come home to his family. I don't want the weight of medical bills and time away from his job to continue to weight him down while he suffers physically from this sickness. Thank you in advance for your love and support. All the kind words, prayers, and thoughtful gestures are already felt and warm his heart.

-With love, May.
