Help Greg with His COVID Recovery

Hey Guys. My name is Glenn Turner and my brother, Greg Turner, contracted COVID-19 in early November. Within a week's time, he was taken to Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, GA, where the Emergency Room rushed him into treatment. He was in no pain, but his vital signs deteriorated quickly and, within another week and a half, it was necessary to put him on a ventilator. Days later, Greg's right leg had to be amputated. The doctors advised us several times to say our goodbyes. But Greg rallied back each time. Six weeks later, Greg was finally revived. Although he required a tracheostomy and a stomach peg, we were glad to have him back. He was stressed about zero mobility in his limbs, the inability to talk (or swallow), all of his business put on hold and the financial stress that this was bound to create, let alone all the questions he had about being an amputee. But Greg has had family and his longtime girlfriend, Angie, by his side daily to reassure him and to slowly bring his confidence back. He is currently still in the hospital and still on a ventilator, but he is on the mend.

Unfortunately, we recently learned that Greg has limited health insurance coverage which has created a severe shortfall. Clearly, his condition is going to require prosthetics, lung rehabilitation, medications, basic daily care and rehabilitation of all body functions. He has a long way to go and, even though we are prayerfully optimistic, the financial challenges of paying his existing bills while at the same time paying the costs of recovery have become painfully clear. We have to find a way to raise these funds and it was suggested by some of you to create a GoFundMe page. Thank you so much for your willingness to take part. Although I know he would probably object to our setting up a page like this, we are doing it because we love him and we know he needs it. My wife and I recently watched “It's a Wonderful Life” and, to me, Greg is the George Bailey of modern times. If anybody deserves it, he does. Thank you ahead of time for your contributions. We will keep you up to date on how he is doing. Oh, and keep those prayers coming! God Bless.
