As some of you may know, my stepdad David, gave us a good scare a few weeks ago. David was at home with my mom, Becky, when he started to slur his words and wasn’t making any sense. My mom thought he was joking around but turns out this was actually no joke. David suffered from a stroke that has affected his control center. While most of you know David, he has been working hard out of town for the last few years and doing something that he loves. Unfortunately, with the severity of the stroke this has complicated going back to work, for now. We do know that he will have rigorous therapy for the next coming months relearning some fine motor skills as well as some speech skills. While this may seem like an easy task, it isn’t. David is an extremely hard worker as many of you know. For now, David will be out of work for the next two-ish months. After spending almost 7 days in the hospital, he was cleared to go home with the intent of starting intense therapy. My mom, Becky, will now have to care for David instead of going back to work full time. As you can imagine, this has put a huge financial strain on both of them. Their house has been a project in itself and now they are without water. My step sister and I will be helping (hopefully) restore the water but we could use all the help we could get to help get them water and maybe even start a kitchen. For now, their main needs are financial (medical bills, food, reoccurring expenses, and their everyday bills.)
