Support for Swedzinski family in time of loss

Donation protected
My name is Megan Swedzinski, and I am creating this page due to my father-in-law Gregory Swedzinski falling sick. For all of you who know Greg, you'll agree that he is one of the kindest, most generous, and giving individuals you can ever have the privilege of knowing. Unfortunately, at this time I am asking all of you to consider helping him.

We've created a caring bridge site which will include a lot more information and a way for you to follow his story. But he was admitted into the ICU on Sunday, August 4th, and remains critically ill but stable. He was diagnosed with a rare disease called HLH (Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis), which is an immune deficiency disorder.

He needs somebody with him 24-7 which means his family needs to be up there. This results in needing to pay for hotel rooms and food while he is hospitalized. At this time he is still in critical condition, and there are numerous factors they will need to overcome before we could even be given a possible release date.

Unfortunately, there isn't any type of sick pay or disability pay for Greg, and his wife Julie doesn't have any paid time off remaining with her employer. I don't have a full picture yet on costs involved in Greg's recovery but I choose to start this now to try and help relieve some financial stress off them so they can focus on Greg & him getting better.

Any funds raised at this time will help cover their monthly bill expenses since neither of them are bringing in an income, and help cover lodging and food expenses while Greg is in the hospital. After Greg will be released they'll have a lot more expenses a head of them. Updates will continually be provided on the caring bridge page, and what the future looks like.

(We are going to continue the donation on GoFundMe at this time to help relieve some of the financial burden off of Julie while she is mourning the loss of her husband, life long partner and best friend. These funds will be used towards medical expenses, funeral costs, and to help with some of the financial burden she will face while acclimating to her life without Gregory.)
