Help Jason get to Denver With Jared

Donation protected
I am sure that nobody will be happy I am sharing, but we all need help. There is nothing more imprtant in this world than family. We are very proud, hardworking people, so this never comes easy to ask for help.

My brother in law, Jared has been sick for a couple years now. His liver has shut down and his Kidneys have multiple times. This year he has been near death more times than we can count. Each time, he is flown out to Billings My husband and mother in law go to be with him. They leave their jobs and it gets to be hard, emotionally exhausting and not to mention expensive even with the awesome friends and family who help. I wouldn't have it any other way.  He needs to be there.

Not long ago, around Christmas, Jared was flown out again. His liver quit awhile back and his kidneys went. He had been on a liver transplant list and they had to remove him. The doctors told our family that he would only have a few days left. Devestated and heartbroken, his mom and Jason went to go get him and bring him home. They took him to his house and friends came and cared for him, he was showered with love and affection...I truly believe it was a miricle. Slowly, he came out of it, next he was eating, standing....gaining his strength back more each day.

He had a check up a couple days ago, and last thing we knew he had been told his levels were great and his kidney function was back. Doc Z got him back on the transplant list.  Next day his mother found him unconcious and unresponsive. Doc did't want to fly him to Billings again, so Denver life flight came and got him and we were all prepared for him to get his liver transplant. Unfortunatley, this illness has taken a toll on him, the doctor didn't want to do the procedure as he is too weak and he wasn't sure his body could handle it. He's getting weak. Jason has exhausted all his sick time and I am currently unemployed due to my own medical stuff, I will not involve here. We cannot make ends meet, we are in a bad spot. Ny husband can't be there and it kills me to me to see the pain and worry in his eyes. he tries to be string for us and hides it well. At this time we don't even have a vehicle reliable enough to get him down there.

Last night his mother fell (She has had heart failure now and diabetes for the last few years as well) she was uncinsious a long time and now is in a room in Denver as well.  They NEED him there. HE needs to be there. He already lost one little brother and his dad. They all have already had way more than any family should ever be handed. Jared is only 38, Justin was 33 when he passed. Jared has shown how strong he is and I know that there are some strong angels by his side helping him fight, but he is getting tired...everyone is getting tired. I just want Jason to be able to be there. They are all eachother have....

I have no idea how much anything costs, but we have nothing and I want Jason to be there with his family. I know he worries about us and our situation as well, we've always figured it out. I have sever Bi-Polar/depression with a crap ton of anxiety right now and am not in a good place or able to be the woman I need to be for him, so I AM ASKING, BEGGING PLEASE HELP ME HELP MY FAMILY. It won't be easy, but God is listening. I just want my family to be able to be together and I would never forgive myself if something happened and he couldn't be there.

Jason carries a strong burden, he is the caretaker of his family now.  Anything to help, any suggestions...I just want to get him there, even if only for a few days, but he needs to be there. His mother needs him right now and so does Jared.  We need prayers, strength and help. I feel pitiful asking for help. Sometimes God humbles us. I have cried and prayed and paniced....its time to reach out and ask for help. Anything helps. I just want to get him there as soon as we can. We can figure out the rest. We will need to take care of our household, I am not sure about what we do there yet, but God will provide. 

Anybody who knows us, knows what Family means to Jason and the pain and loss he has suffered. He is a strong man, they are all very strong, but sometimes we all need a little help. Please help my husband be there with his little brother and mom. ANYTHING helps.
