Support needed for funeral and burial costs for Charles

UPDATE: It is with a very heart that I have to share that Charles passed away this morning. Cheryl will still need so much love and support as she prepares funeral and burial arrangements. Please pray for Cheryl and all of Charles family during this very sad time.

My name is Tiffany Gilliam and I’m trying to help my sister Cheryl and her husband Charles out financially. Over the last year Charles has been in and out of the hospital more than 10 times. He’s only spent a few days at home before having to go right back to the hospital. Charles has been in the hospital for basically the last 6 weeks straight. Cheryl has worked hard to continue working throughout this time, but many days Charles was just in too bad of shape for Cheryl to leave him. Cheryl’s paycheck is the primary source of income for the family, and she is now out of days. Charles had to have a heart cath today where they found out he has pulmonary hypertension. Charles was also placed on a ventilator today and is critically ill. Charles will have to be sent to another hospital with more knowledge of this disease. Most likely they will be going to St. Louis. Cheryl will be going with Charles at least until he’s more stable and there is really no way to tell how long this will take. Charles health has financially strapped the family, and now there is going to be travel, all meals will need to be covered, Cheryl will need a place to get some rest. The bills will pile up with Cheryl not being able to work. Charles and Cheryl desperately need our help during this scary and life altering time. If you can help our entire family would be very thankful. We ask for prayers over Charles that they will find the treatment that will work and get him back home.
