I am Kevin Bemister, and I started this GOFUNDME campaign in order to raise funds for my parents. Most of you that will see this page know how hard it is for me to be able to help my parents, since the military keeps me away. My father became unresponsive on New Years Eve, and was so for 12 minutes. My mom called me while he was still unresponsive. It is excruciatingly painful to hear your mother tell you, while crying, that your father might not last long. Upon ambulance arrival, CPR was conducted. I am happy to say that he is alive. He is healing well from the incident. After receiving multiple tests at the hospital, we were able to find out that he had a heart attack, he was septic, and he had congestive heart failure. What makes this situation even more troubling is my parents insurance was not active until midnight that evening. He received an ambulance ride as well as multiple treatments up until midnight that evening. An ambulance ride can cost anywhere between $300 to $1000 per trip. His treatment for the few hours in the hospital is expected to be in the thousands. On top of that, my parents will be forced to pay the $1800 deductable for the treatment he receives after midnight. The expected total is now estimated to almost $10000. If you know me, you will know that I never ask anyone for help. My parents are the same way. They have no idea I am setting up this campaign. I beg of you to donate anything that you can. All donations matter! Please share this with your friends and family! Thank you and GOD BLESS!
