Healing Rick's Heart

Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time to read! I first off want to start with telling you a little bit about my dad.  Anyone that knows Rick Rice, knows how amazing he is. He has always bent over backwards for our family, and for anyone that has ever needed him.   My dad has always been the strong, patient, understanding leader of our family. He is hands down the hardest working man I've ever known--and the funniest! He is the king of corny dad jokes, but that's one of the many reasons we love him so much.
All joking aside, my dad's heart is not cooperating. He found out that on March 27, 2017 he will undergo open heart surgery. They will be doing a quadruple bypass surgery which entails taking blood vessels from another area of the body (his leg in this instance) and grafting them onto the existing blocked arteries which will improve blood flow to the heart. He will be off of work for at least 6 weeks following the surgery and is unable to work presently up until the surgery.
This will obviously place financial strain on my parents. If I know my dad (and I'd like to think that I do) he will be stressing about where funds are going to come from while he is off of work. By creating this campaign, I'm hoping to alleviate this stress so that he can focus on healing after the surgery, and not on finances. I am asking that if anyone reading this has the ability to give-big or small-to please consider doing so.  If anyone reading this is unable to give financially, positive thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated as well! We love him more than words can describe. Thank you everyone for reading and graciously giving!
