Help Barbara beat Blastomycosis!

Donation protected
Hello my name is Rick Post and my wife and I need your help... Barbara started feeling Ill around September 1st and stopped working (home health care) to protect her client. Anyone who knows Barbara knows she was very active: from painting rocks for children to find to hiking and camping. From scouring the shores of Lake Superior for Yooper lights to sharing those same rocks with folks who couldn’t. She works with autistic children and just loves everybody; I have never met a more compassionate person but today all of that is out of reach.  She beat Covid,  she beat both the viral and bacterial pneumonias, she bounced back from stage 5 kidney failure and she is beating the blastomycosis. She will be fighting that for over a year to come. She spent nearly 90 days in the hospital and rehab.  Since she has had to learn to walk again and do many things but her lungs won't let her do much.  The fungus destroyed so much of her lungs. She still has a long hard fight ahead of her and is time consuming and expensive. We greatly appreciate any contributions as our savings disappears; donations will go toward medical expenses, medically related expenses and lost wages. On her right wrist are tatooed three small letters "NGU" for Never Give Up. She did this after her mother passed from a respritory illness she suffered from for years. It's a reminder to be more tomorrow than she is today. With no idea for when she will beat this she is Not Giving Up. Thank you today for your generous heart tomorrow.
