Eddies surgical expenses

Donation protected
I’m not sure where to even begin. This last year has been a whirlwind to say the least. My father had a lumbar spinal fusion surgery on July 9, 2019. A few weeks past and the vertebrae above his fusion collapsed and it was realized he needed a 2nd fusion all the way up his thorax.. His 2nd surgery was December 13, 2019. After recovering, barely from that, he was scheduled for his third surgery on June 4th, 2020. This time for his cervical spine fusion...After being rushed to hospital on June 18th, it was then found that he had a brain hemorrhage, and was transported downtown to Metro where they were able to control the bleed without surgical intervention . Fast forward a week or so, he was then transported to a rehab facility to continue rehabilitation from his cervical fusion.. He was only there for 12 hours complaining that he couldn’t swallow before they found out he had a major infection in his neck. He was then transported from rehab back to Tri Point emergency department on June 23rd and was admitted directly into surgery..The infection was so severe that it started to push on his esophagus and started to cause intense labored breathing.. After surgery a drainage tube was placed in his neck to help clear out what was left of the infection, sitting in hospital for 2 weeks and no answers to why the infection hasn’t subsided (which also prevented him from being able swallow), a barium test was done to find out that he has had a severe esophageal tear which could be life threatening if not surgically treated immediately . My father is weak, he’s tired. Hasn’t eaten or drank anything in over a week. His only nutrients is via IV..He’s lost so much weight, he’s a fighter but this is taking a toll on him mentally and physically. All this time, my mother has been trying to keep their business afloat, keeping all of the animals fed, and their house and our family from falling apart. We are all doing the best we can, but everybody is exhausted. Medical bills have covered the kitchen table and my mother refuses to ask for help but seeing first hand, the situation we are in, my brother and I are reaching out to any friends and family willing to donate towards helping my mother financially with these medical bills. We appreciate the prayers, love and support from everybody. Keep them coming, because right now prayer is the only thing getting him through. ❤️
