Help Blake and Family Through Medical Crisis
Donation protected
Hello my name is April. I’m not even sure how to start. My husband Blake is having two surgeries that we weren’t expecting to happens so quickly. He has been having health problems since October. Blake has a full blockage in his right carotid artery and he needs a heart valve replacement. We knew at some point he was going to need this issues fixed but it has taken so long to get into his specialist. Blake basically had a mini stroke on Sunday. He was transported to Emory in Atlanta due to his heart doctor being here. He had tests done that showed he now has stenosis in more arteries and his right artery is completely blockage. This cause the mini stroke. He must have this fixed before we fix his heart. He had open heart surgery when he was younger and had a valve replacement. That valve is no stuck closed and also leaking. This has caused him a lot of issues and he hasn’t been able to work in months due to his health issues. He know has to have surgery tomorrow morning plus again on Tuesday. I am missing two weeks of work to be with him. I am not getting paid because I am out of sick and vacation days. I am the only one working so missing two weeks to be here with him and take care of him afterwards is financially killing us. We already live pay check to pay check as must done but. Ow we will be missing a check. I am asking for help during this time. We are about 2 hours from home that we are having to travel back and forth. He will have surgery then be sent home for a few days before we come back for surgery number 2. That is a lot of gas to come here and drive back. He will also have to come back to Atlanta for post op appointments. I am asking for help with traveling, food, medical payments, and just making sure we can keep food on the table for our 4 kids and the power on since I will be losing money to be here with my husband. He also needs hearing aids so someone has to be with him as he can’t really here what the doctors are telling him. If you can donate anything we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you
