Bud the Plumber in Fort Payne, Alabama's fundraising support

Hello, My name is Allen and I'm starting this fundraiser for my Dad. My Mom passed away last September and my Dad's health immediately declined and just a few weeks ago he had open-heart surgery, which was successful, but it stressed his kidneys so much that he is now in stage 4 kidney failure and needs dialysis 3 times a week.

What he needs the money for unpaid medical bills and the many expenses required for his daily care. When my Mom passed away her check stopped coming in immediately and simultaneously Dad stopped doing any of his handyman jobs due to his extreme grief and poor health. So, his monthly income immediately shrunk by about $2000 but his needs and expenses only increased and continue to do so.

My two older Brothers and I live in other states and can't be with him the way we would like to be and him living alone isn't ideal because he hasn't been able to drive himself since the surgery and it's looking like it may stay that way, so we need help getting him to and from his three dialysis appointments every week. I visit him 2-3 times every week and take him to his appointments if I can.

Anyone who knows my Dad (everyone calls him Bud) loves him and has probably benefited from his very, very affordable Plumbing/handyman jobs. He HATES asking anyone for help, he's never taken a handout in his entire life, however, he is now 84 years young and life has thrown him some major curveballs in this last year and I'm asking for some help on his behalf. Thank you in advance for anything you're willing and able to do.

He truly needs it.

Love and gratitude,

Allen
