Ensure Comfort for Bob in His Final Days

Help Bob Spend His Final Days at Home with Dignity and Comfort

Our family is reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for your support during this incredibly difficult time. Bob, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and member of the Deaf community, has been fighting a courageous battle after suffering a spinal cord injury in a swimming accident while on Deaf cruise vacation in Aruba last February.

Since the accident, Bob has faced numerous challenges. He is completely immobile, unable to walk or use his hands, which has made communication extremely difficult. A dangerous bone infection, resulting from multiple pressure ulcers (bed sores), has halted his rehabilitation while doctors focus on treating the infection.

At this stage, Bob is home, surrounded by his family, and his wish is to spend his final days in the comfort of his own space. However, his care needs are now around the clock, requiring in-home hospice care along with professional CNA support to ensure he is as comfortable as possible and to assist with his daily needs. We are seeking financial assistance to help cover the costs of this specialized care, as well as the mounting medical bills from his initial hospitalization in Aruba, so Bob can remain at home, where he feels most at peace.

The funds we’re seeking will help cover the ongoing costs of 24/7 in-home hospice and CNA care, which are critical to Bob’s comfort and dignity. They will also help address the substantial medical debt we’ve incurred from his emergency care and treatments while in Aruba. Our goal is to raise $25,000 to support these care needs and help us manage the additional medical expenses that have arisen. Your generous contribution, no matter the amount, will ensure that Bob receives the care he deserves during this final chapter of his life.

Bob has always been a fighter. He is a devoted grandfather who loved spending time with his 6 grandkids, a loving husband to his wife of 25 years, a father to two stepdaughters, and a dedicated worker who spent his career ensuring the safety and well-being of others. Even in the face of such a profound injury, Bob’s determination has never wavered.

As Bob’s condition has worsened, the need for specialized care has become even more urgent. His family has been by his side every step of the way, but the costs of 24/7 in-home hospice care and the existing medical debt are overwhelming. This support will help ensure Bob can spend his final days in the comfort of home with the people he loves.

Your support will not only help alleviate the financial burden of around-the-clock care but will also allow our family to focus on spending meaningful time with him, making the most of these precious days.

We will be posting regular updates to keep you informed about Bob’s condition and how your contributions are making a difference. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated.
